Management of user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8

Hello

I'll post a thread on how to manage the user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8.

A user account allows you to connect to Windows 8. By default, your computer already has a user account that you have been
needed to create when you configure Windows 8. If you want to share your computer, you can create a separate for each Member of your household or office user account. You can also choose to associate any user account with a Microsoft account. Signature with a Microsoft account will bring all your SkyDrive files, contacts and more in the start screen. You can even connect to another computer that has Windows 8 and all your important files will be there.

Here is a video on how to manage the user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8.

Also, here is a document showing you how to manager Our user on Windows 8.

If you have any questions let me know.

I hope it's useful.

  • Parental controls in Windows 7

    I am trying to set up a standard account with parental controls on Windows 7 and have Norton Security installed.  I'm blocking access to the majority of installed programs, but don't know if I should leave that everything related to Norton Security so that it works as expected. Am I suppose to allow any Norton-related programs for the program works properly or even Norton will work as it is supposed to if nothing is done?

    Hello

    You can use the Windows 7 or your security 3rdparty Parental control software. Of Windows 7 Parental control options cannot be combined with your security 3rdparty software. It would be better if you check the Parental control option that would suit you better. If you decide to keep your control Parental of Windows 7, you can leave your such security 3rdparty software what.

  • parental control for windows and IE8 lists

    could you tell me where to find lists allow/block for access in ie8 Manager and parental control under accounts of users and parental control?

    Hi pavilion_alex,.

    For Access Manager, see the following: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-use-content-advisor-in-internet-explorer-8.html.

    For Parental control, see the following: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Set-up-Parental-Controls.  For each category, there is a tracking link that provides details on how to manage this particular aspect, including where are the lists and how block/allow access.

    Windows Live Family Safety 2011 allows you to manage remote parental control - but not really adds additional means to block or allow.  You can simply access computers remotely to do what parental controls can do this on the local PC.  Here's where to find this program: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-family-safety?os=other.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks for your help...

    Here's the question...

    I am not able to connect to the user account.  When I check the c drive of the user is referenced, but when I checked under the user Panel is not listed.

    The question is how can I connect a user account in my c drive not registered on my user account in my control panel?

    Files in the folder (C:\Users) user account are left after the removal of the user of a computer account.

    Presence of a user account in the C drive does not necessarily a real account by this name need to exist.

  • Corruption, massive in almost all of the network services user account and firewall Windows

    Win 7 Pro SP 1. An account with administrator privileges. Domestic wireless access to a router; D-link devices. System was working fine until about seven 2 (and I pointed out some Windows updates installed September 1, but don't think it's relevant). Computer users allege no unusual behavior on their part Analyses of viruses from Windows Defender and Avast free were clear. Restoring from a previous restore point (two different ones) has not solved the problem - the restore points were date known system OK. Corruption has been maintained despite the restorations (worked and failed).

    A complaint that has lost network access. On the survey, found that all these symptoms mentioned below, and no doubt other symptoms exist that I am not aware of. The solution was to create a new user account, and which restored massive configuration problems.

    Symptoms:

    1 Windows Firewall could not turn on. Yes, I looked at the KBs regarding this issue (basic dependencies does not and so on) and tried individual hotfixes from the KB, without success.

    2. in the network sharing Center, there was no display of the usual icons at the top of this window. Those who show the personal computer connected to the router connected to the internet. Error message displayed re no dependence of base.

    3. it is possible to send signals between the USB wireless device on the computer and the wireless router. In the task area, the Windows message was 'limited connectivity', something like that. It was possible to connect and disconnect using this facility. But no internet access, notes.

    4. the resolution of the problems would not be executed. The message was that political diagnostics are not running. All attempts to start this service (with its two assistance services) has failed. Tried the individual patches of the relevant KB (wearing mostly on change permissions in the registry at some points), which failed.

    5. in addition, the Dhcp client service would not be executed. Once again, among the KBs tried the proposed fix on the permissions change, which failed. (Omitted in the sense that I could not always start the service; editing the registry was fine).

    5. firewall KB contained a file "beats" that you can create and run, I did, and another had similar commands (start and stop some services) that could be run in a command window. Both failed on some services - especially Mspsvc (Microsoft protection Service) - Although the success was shown to other services.

    6. when I created a new user profile, I re-entered the registry permissions in some of these places just to see what was different. In the damaged user profile, what was missing, it was the standard system of services (about 3 or 4 of them; things like the name of Dhcp). What showed was the News user account (for the specific user account; administrator; and two more points).

    Telling me that something has released a complete subsystem or three. Never seen this behaviour before.

    Would be nice to have an idea where to look for a fix / restore procedure.

    Hello

    Thank you for providing us with brief information on the specific issue that you are facing the computer.

    I would like to know, have you been able to access the network on the new user profile?

    As you have tried several steps including the change of permission for the registry value and run the batch file, I would ask to perform Scan SFC.

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    For more information on how to scan SFC, please see the Microsoft Support Article below.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Let us know the results of the SFC Scan, so that we can help you further.

  • Cannot disable Parental controls in Windows 7

    A few months ago I turned on "Parental controls" in Windows 7 and installed Windows Live Essentials which enabled Windows Live Family Safety.  Then set up controls on the connection of my sons account.  It worked well to block his access to select programs and Web sites.

    I now want to delete controls on his account and also completely disable Parental control, will have problems.

    I signed in to Live parental controls and turned off all the selections.  But his account still has restrictions and can not run programs that were previously blocked.  It is still block.  They work fine if I launch them from my Admin account or standard wife.  But not standard account of my son.

    If I change the 'provider' to 'None' then click on account of my son, I get the error msg...  "Impossible to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator.  UH... I am the admin.

    What I noticed is, if I look at the screen carefully when I click on his account, I see what I think, this is the screen adjustment "Parental control" or by a Commission for a half second before getting the error.

    I searched and tried different steps in this area and on the web. Most seem to want to refer to a Vista system, mine is Win 7.

    I did cmd level scans as "SFC/scannow", stopping the service and allow the account administrator by default to connect and try to leave, but none of these work.

    Even uninstalled the 'Parental control' part Live Essentials and no luck and reinstalled complete essentially no effect.

    I've been on before IE8, IE9 attended, so he just went back to IE8 with no effect (didn't expect not but just to try).

    In short, it seems that Parental control is glued ON and now has his hooks in my son's account and will not let go.  I don't want to delete his account and set up a new account, as this will work around the question for my son for now, but leave the service is running and the problem.

    My system is running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.   My account is an administrator.  My son has a Standard account.  The programs work very well through other accounts simply not hers.

    So, how can I get out his account to parental authority and then how do I disable / stop completely, the Parental control itself?

  • 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".

    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.

    What are the causes of the log of user account on missing cursor in Windows XP? I have two trays of office that they have this same problem. If you restart them the cursor returns?

    Hi DaddyJeff,

    1. don't you make changes before the show?
    2. are you referring to the cursor in the area of user password on the login screen of Windows?
    3. when the cursor goes missing, the mouse pointer works on screen?

    It is difficult to say what is causing this problem. If the mouse pointer freezes or stops working, then we recommend you to reinstall the mouse. To do this, try the following steps:
    a. sign in to Windows.
    b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
    c. in the list of objects, expand mice and other pointing devices.
    d. right click on the sub element and click on uninstall.
    e. unplug the mouse and plug it back.
    f. the Device Manager, select an item in the list, click the Action menu, click scan for hardware changes.
    g. check if the mouse is detected, if so, then install it.

    See mouse USB which is connected to a USB 2.0 hub is not detected by Windows XP


    Note:
    if the problem persists, restore the computer to an earlier time. See How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

  • Parental controls on Windows 7

    For more than two years, I have install parental controls with the family of security filters on the computer used by my children. I have NOT connected to the computer or seen the reports. When I try to access the reports today, it took me to a Web site where I was prompted to log in to the Site of family of Microsoft. After using my normal Microsoft credentials, there is no account or clickthrough reports.  I was asked to add a child. I don't remember creating a separate account for parental control of Microsoft. Is it possible to determine which account has been used or is the way to access these reports changed?
