Family Safety Windows blocking is not enough

I have activated Windows parental controls for a child account on Windows 8.1 and disabled all applications that are registered except Chrome.

I tested and it blocks a lot of things, but allows much more than just Chrome.

I disabled the downloads in the center of the family, but downloading files via Chrome still works.

Once connected was - this child account, I opened regedit and was able to tinker around in the registry and change everything that can create or modify a standard user account.

Notepad works.  I created a .bat with some commands file and saved to the desktop.  Then, I clicked on it and run the script without any problems.

Turn off all the sliders to block applications seems to give a false impression that the user is locked a lot more than they really are.

Are there other applications and executable blocking settings that can be activated in the parental control?

How can I set this up so that the child's account runs, which is expressly authorized in the white list and no other programs such as regedit, notebook, random scripts, etc.. ?

I want this Windows system either as malware as possible evidence all being usable for surfing the web like a Chromebook, but this does not do.

If the download blocking only works for IE, I couldn't remove Chrome in the list allow applications, but this still does not resolve the other issues listed.

  • The family safety web filtering does not work after upgrade to Windows 8

    Hello, I upgraded a laptop for Windows Vista 8 and family safety works more fully.

    I have updated to the 2012 essentials and I can confirm that parental control is executed. App and time restrictions still work fine, but the filtering of the web site does not work.

    I have web filtering set to allow list only, with 3 sites listed - google, Wikipedia and BBC - but I can access all of the web content.

    I also tried to delete the files in ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Parental Controls such as suggested in other posts, but it did not work.

    I can also confirm that WpcMon.exe is running.

    Can you advise what could be the problem?

    Thank you

  • Install Windows 10 days not enough disk space with 9

    Hello

    As a fan of Firefox, I got my XP Pro machine die. New construction with Windows 10 creates a volume of questions that it is difficult to take.

    In need of a mail client, move from Outlook Express, I decided on Thunderbird. When I try to install it in a location of my choice on one partition other then C:, it says 9 GB of free space, which need 80 MB and told there is not enough space.

    Can you help me?

    Well well, OK then, I answer my own question:

    It was a very simple solution. Get the current version (which is in my case 38.2,0 - while I got the error with 38.1.0 that I had gotten a few days earlier, I think). Works like a dream.

    And look so cool (white).

  • Windows Easy Transfer - not enough disk space

    I thought I was effective with my space of C: drive when I created a partition of 19G for Win 7 64 bit install.  Installation went well.  But now, I get an error when I try to use Windows Easy Transfer to replace the files and settings in the C: drive.  I'm getting "there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings.

    I tried to extend the partition of 19G using the diskpart command line, but obviously I don't understand this thing of partition or volume.  I have 908G free on the C: drive.  Why don't Windows Easy Transfer make me do?

    You can walk me through how to get Windows Easy Transfer to use the available space?  I tried creating and formatting a volume with free space and which does not work either.  (Not shown in the screenshot.)

    Screenshots:

    I solved my problem and will document the answer if someone reads this thread.

    Not being warned of partition, I was really afraid of 'delete partition' given the warning message.  Once I thought logically through what would happen that I chose to delete the partition.

    Deletion of de facto partition the partition itself is no longer accessible, but it did not space reconciliations.  Once the partition has been deleted, it was labeled "unallocated" in the management of the computer-> disk management GUI.  At that time I could right click on the c: partition and choose to extend it.

  • In Windows 8 family safety does not work

    Separated from this thread.

    I have the same problem. The websites that I entered as blocked does not crash. And when I contacted the technical support from Microsoft, a fool came on the line, tried to talk in general with me asking me where I lived, and when I started living there. I asked him to connect with a supervisor and the supervisor said I had to pay $99.95 for support. Bunch of idiots.

    Hello

    Are you sure that you talk to the official support of Microsoft? And there may be a fee.

    Be sure to check in Internet Explorer - Tools - Internet Options - Security that these sites are not confident.

  • How do I create a Parent account to Windows Live family safety?

    Hello

    I have a Windows Live account and I have created several others to implement parental controls of Windows, but I could not.  With all the accounts that I created, I continue to encounter one or two messages error with or the other account.  It is said that "this service is not available at this time" and other States that the account is not registered as a Parent.  I read the comments to discussion threads where advice is given on how to fix known issues associated with these error messages, and none of them work for me.  When I connect to Windows Live with an account, any account, they look alike, and it is never an option to add a child with the exception of the link subsumed under permissions.  When I click permissions and click to add an account, all that I see is the ability to add social media accounts in my Windows Live account.  I tried almost every permutation I can think to solve this problem.  Provide advice.  Thank you.
