Children Control

Children Control allows you to control access to PC, Internet sites, programs and system functions. This program must be installed under administrator's user account. The program settings are different for each user account so you can configure it for each user of your PC.

The program is usually available from system tray. Right click on tray icon to show popup menu. Select "Show Settings" to open Settings Window. There are 5 pages available:

Settings. You can customize and configure the general settings here: password (to protect the program and PC form unauthorised usage), startup (if you want program automatically starts up with operating system (for current user) you should set a "Autostart with Windows for this user" option) and invisibility settings (the tray icon can be hidden when program starts - just check "Hide tray icon at startup" option). You have specify a hot-key (something like ctrl+shift+alt+s) to be able to switch on/off invisible (stealth) mode.

Computer. Configure PC Lock settings here. If you set an "Autostart with Windows" option at the Settings page you can lock PC at system startup by setting a "Lock PC at system startup" option. If you set a "Lock PC after unapproved reboot" the Children Control will lock access to PC only if the reboot was initialized during locking. So it is strongly recommended to check the "Autostart with Windows" and "Lock PC after unapproved reboot" flags.

If you want to restrict PC usage time for your childrens you have to check "Lock PC every..." flag and set frequency and duration of lock. You can specify a hot-key to fast lock your PC. You can also simply lock computer by double clicking on a tray icon (or you can select "Lock Computer" item from tray icon's popup menu" Computer will be locked. You have to enter a correct password to unlock and get access to PC. There are also screen transparency and screen animation options at the Computer page.

Internet. Don't you want your children navigate on porn sites? Well... now you have a possibility to restrict access to web-sites with unallowed content. Children Control provides 2 ways for this: 1) You can check a "Allow access only to web-sites" option and set the names of allowed web-sites (NOTE: do not write "http:" or "www." prefixes for site names!). 2) You can check a "Lock web sites with keywords " option and specify the bad words. If these words will appear during web navigation the web-sites with bad content will be locked.

Programs. If your children play brutal games or launch your business programs you can restrict access to these programs. Just click "+" to add the executable file to the list and check "Lock access to the programs" flag.

Policies. You can manage system restrictions on this page. (Only if you are logger as administrator). Disable such system function as: Task Manager, registry tools (RegEdit), control panel, command prompt, password change, Windows update, wallpaper changing, Add/Remove Programs manager. Children Control can also hide any drive in Explorer. (Just check drive letters to hide theme after Windows reboot).

That's all. Now click OK button to save options. The settings window will be hidden but the program will continue work.
