Setting Time Limits

To often I get asked by parents about special software to limit their child's activities on the computer. Windows Vista includes a good set of parental controls. The time limit settings are very accessible.
First login to the administrator account. Give the child a separate login. You can give them their own password or not. I did for your daughter. This helped feel important.

To get to Parental Control;
  • Click Start button then go to the Control Panel
  • Click User Accounts then Family Safety
  • Click Parental Controls
  • Click Continue in the User Account Control window
  • Select the User Account from the Parental Controls window
It is from this window that you can limit time spent on the computer, to monitoring their internet activity.
