Cannot make changes to the parents control settings (Windows 7)

I've seen several comments regarding this same problem, but so far no solution.

I am the administrator, but I get an error when I try to access the parent on standard accounts control settings.  Now, what's even weirder, is that I am able to access ONE of the standard accounts, and there is nothing different between this account and others.

I have tried all the solutions already posted:

-running 'services.msc' and the implementation of parent controls (which is said by the way, says "this service is a stub for of Windows Parental control feature that existed in Vista", which is strange, it's as if there's no 'Parental control' in Windows 7?);

-create a new administrator account via the control panel (in the case where my administrator account is corrupt), by restarting and trying to put Parental controls

-create a new administrator account using the command prompt "net user administrator / Active: Yes";

-in the course of running "sfc/scannow".

See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/error-unable-to-make-changes-to-parental-control/a17654d8-ff11-4fd2-8ae4-d96170715373; http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-7-i-cant-change-parental-controlwhen-i/25390eea-00dd-411b-bfd0-dec9ed459106; http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/parental-controls-error-unable-to-make-changes-to/70d3c356-eb55-4e93-98a0-b5f96ac44eea; http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/i-am-trying-to-set-up-parental-controls-and-when-i/f232d8ac-4f6d-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5; http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-7-i-cant-change-parental-controlwhen-i/25390eea-00dd-411b-bfd0-dec9ed459106; http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/unable-to-make-changes-to-parental-contol-settings/d2a95230-f657-43CD-8294-03fc7ccb72fd

(By the way, I leave here the 'answer' who said that this question should be asked on the support forum for Windows Live, if you search on this forum, you will find that the 'response' they provide is to ask the question on the Windows support forum.  ;)

ANY OTHER IDEAS?

Did you you run regedit as an administrator? It is a common problem in trying just new values. This is done by right-clicking on the program and selecting "Run as Administrator". This allows you to write new values.

If you would like more information on this subject by me, read the last post on page 3 here:
If you have recently encountered this problem, I would recommend a system restore, and I explain the reasons in the tread above.
I hope this helps!

    Hi evilkittenofdoom

    Lets try the following.  Even if your account is an administrator, can allow to built in Administrator account and see if we get the error you mentioned before.

    activate the account real built-in Administrator, then log into that account and see if you can set up parental controls.

    1.) open start, type cmd in the search box

    2.) look to the top of the left panel you'll see cmd.exe , right click

    3.) click on RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR, click on continue if prompted

    (4.) a black & white screen appears, type the following:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes

    5.) press the ENTER key on your keyboard. The b/w screen indicate whether the command is successful. If Yes, close the n/b command prompt. Otherwise please try again and careful with typo/spacing.

    6.) log-off. The display will show 3 accounts. Acct 'true administrator', yours and your 2nd account set for friends/family

    7.) to connect to the account "administrator." The system should start the implementation of the Bureau for the account. After that, try to do what you wanted to do with the 2nd account (the parental control settings).

    WARNING
    : a) If you decide to keep this account (Administrator account), be sure to create a password for it.
    (b) If you decide to get rid of it, repeat operations EXCEPT in step 4.) type net user administrator / active: No.

  • Download e-mail files attached despite the parental control

    I have Microsoft parental control set up on my computer of children. I tried to send an attachment through facebook and hotmail. Family safety has blocked them to download the attachment I sent. I looked in the family safety settings and can not find a place to allow downloading of attachments. Any ideas?

    Hi Sam,

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    1 have you blocked any of these sites in the parental control settings? If this is not the case, what happens when you try to download these attachments?

    2. What is the full/exact error message?

    You do not allow downloading attachments in particular, but you can allow Web sites. This problem can also occur if the antivirus program blocks downloads.

    I suggest you follow these steps to make sure that you have not blocked any of these specific sites or if you do not find in the blocked category, you can add this Web site to the authorized category and check the results.

    1. On any computer, go to the Family Safety website, and then sign in with the account of a parent's Microsoft.
    2. Under the name of the child you want to set the web content filtering, click on change settings.

    3. Click Web filtering lists.

    4. Type or paste the web address of the site on which you want to allow or block in the http:// text box and click on allow or block.

      You can use the drop-down list next to the text http:// box to allow or block a website for only the current child or several children or family members.

    If the problem persists, try to update the family safety filter settings to see if that helps.

    I used to be able to go to regedit, theoretically/local settings, current version, and then in the notification bar and remove previous workflow icon and another thing after the cache then go to Explorer and delete, but now I can not do this way somehow.

    I already know how this hide them

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem, you cannot make changes in the registry, that you were able to do before. The question might be if there is a file system corruption or corruption of the registry settings. Then, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    There could be a chance that there is a file system corruption. So, I suggest you run SFC scan and see if it makes a difference.

    The file system check is a utility built into the operating system that will check for the corruption of system files. The sfc/scannow command. (System File Check) analyzes the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect versions, damaged, altered, or damaged with correct versions where possible.

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

    • Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
    • Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click OK.
    • In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    For more information, refer to this link:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, then there might be a corruption of the registry settings so, I suggest you to check the steps in the below mentioned thread and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Access denied - owner and/or setting permissions on the registry key

    Registry warning : This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
