Today we take a look at how to setup and use Parental Controls in Windows 7.Parental ControlsTo access Parental Controls open the Start Menu and type parental controls into the Search box and hit Enter.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/3cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Alternatively you can open Control Panel and click on Parental Controls.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/4cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />When you open Parental Controls, click on the child’s account you want to set up.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/5cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Make  sure to password protect your Administrator account…otherwise anyone  can turn off Parental Controls and use the computer with no  restrictions.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/16cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />If  you see a password hasn’t been set when you go into Parental Controls,  click on the message and you’ll be prompted and Ensure Administrator  Passwords.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Under Parental Controls mark the radio button next to On, enforce current settings. Then you can go through and control their computer time, games, and programs.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/6cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Set Time LimitsClick  on Time limits to control when your child has access to the computer.  If you want to only allow a few hours each day, it’s easiest to  left-click and drag the mouse across all of the time slots to block  them. Then allow the time blocks when you want to make the computer  available.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/7cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Control GamesClick  on Games to control the type of access your child has to games on the  computer. You can completely block all games or select games by ratings  and game names. These game ratings are based on the Entertainment Software Rating Board.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/9cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />You  can also select different game rating systems if it’s more appropriate  for your location or if you like a certain system better than another.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/12cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />You can also block games based on the type of content it contains…and it gives you a lot of choices.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Control ProgramsIf you want to restrict certain programs on the machine, click on Allow and block specified programs then scroll through the list of installed programs and block them.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/11cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Additional Controls Windows 7  doesn’t have a Web Filter included like Vista did. If you want  additional controls like Web Filtering and activity reports, you’ll need  to install Windows Live  Family Safety which is part of the Window Live Essentials suite. With  it you can block access to certain sites and also get access to an  activity report that shows you what sites your children have been  visiting.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/13cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Everything can be controlled online which makes it nice if you want to access a report or change settings while at work.<img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/15cont.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  Parental Controls feature is easy to use and helps you administer how  your children use the computer. Of course nothing is perfect or  foolproof and the Parental Controls won’t replace good old fashioned  “real parenting” but it makes it easier.</blockquote>
