If Windows Vista is running on your computer, there is a built-in feature that you can use to restrict your children’s access of website.  The restriction includes the game type, the access time and even the websites browsing.

To enable the restrictions, follow these steps please.

1. Select ‘Start’ and ‘Control Panel’.
2. Select ‘set-up Parental Controls’ under ‘User Accounts’.
3. Logon as Administrator and enter password.
4. Select any user account and choose ‘On’ of ‘Parental Controls’. The user account shall be the one that you intend to control.
5. Then select the ‘Time Limit’ and enter the hours when access is allowed.
6. Then choose ‘Windows Vista Web Filter’ and ‘block some websites or content’ under ‘edit allow and block List’.
