I created parental controls for my brother because he is addicted and plays minecraft 6hrs a day. I created a user for him and activated parental controls. (Time limit per day) I pressed ok to confirm settings, and ok again, but when I test it out it dosen't work and it says it is deactivated. And my brother says he dosen't want to switch user because he will lose his unique ID on TeamSpeak. Any ideas? Shold I use another program with windows 7 is laggy?
We have a saying in the network admin industry: 'don't try to find a technological solution to a social problem'
No, I have an administrator account and it has a password. My brother has his own account that is supposed to have limited game time but when I confirm it, it dosen't activate! @Loonylion He's visiting a shrink and he recommended this cause then he will have to occupy himself with other activities until he forgets about it (I hope).
I have 3 Win7 boxes at home, and no matter what I do, the time-control for Family-Safety do not work on the one machine. Safe surfing works on all three perfectly. Without re-installing I cannot fix it (it's not an account problem, its a screwed up driver problem), so untill a year goes by and I re-format (I do this anyway after about a year), it's broke for me too. I did get some actual MS help, but no dice. Windows7 x64 (with driver signing disabled, makes no difference actually) and its a Ultimate Edition, so it's my work-horse. Hence not about to wipe the machine early just to get time controls working. :'(
not me, me bro and his addiction is serious. He is getting bad grades, stays till 3am on a school day playing. @Hipster He's not stupid, he can download it from any website again if I delete mc.
switch his account to limited (= not local administrator) then on an administrator account, go to start->run, type 'secpol.msc' then once it loads select 'software restriction policies'. In the action menu, click 'add software restriction policies' then expand the folder. Right click 'enforcement' and set 'apply to all users except local administrators'. OK that and right click on 'additional rules' and choose 'new hash rule'. Browse to the minecraft executable and set it to 'disallowed'. It should no longer run for his account.
