Hi,
I coordinate an Adopt a Child for Christmas event. Here's the problem we are looking to fix. We send out the list of children as a Word document by email. Can we use Skydrive to coordinate the sponsors; as in, once the list goes out can they put their
name next to the child they select so that the next person who opens the Skydrive file will see which children have already been chosen and which are still available? What I'm thinking is that as people select the children the next person who opens the document
(usually the second time they open it, not when they first receive the invite) they can see who selected the other children and we don't have the problem of receiving email responses from five people wanted to adopt the same child.
Hope you can help me,
Michele
I have set up family safety on 4 different computers for different children. I have set the web filtering to "allow list only" and have blocked everything save for about 10 websites. On 3 of the computers it is now working properly. But on the fourth
computer (running Windows 7 Home Premium) it is working for regular websites. But for some reason it is allowing my son to access (what appears to be) any game-related website.
If I go to a news website (i.e. cnn) or even google.com, it is blocked. But if I go to any url that has "game" in it, it allows it, i.e. gamestop.com or games.yahoo.com.
Additionally, these "gaming" websites that it is allowing do NOT appear AT ALL in the reporting on the FS website. They do not appear on the web activity report at all, not as allowed, not as blocked - nothing! As far as FS is concerned, there is no log whatsoever,
they simply disappear into thin air after they are visited.
The only thing I have been able to do for this user is add all the known game-related websites to a blacklist (blocked) and then he is indeed prevented from going there. But I cannot forever keep up with the new websites of this category that he will find.
I have all 4 computers set to the exact same settings in FS (apply to all children), but this problem only exists on one computer.
I have also done the following: Deleted User and created new user to which I have applied the same settings as other children. Still same problem persists on that PC with the new user.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated as I cannot keep up with this. If I cannot get this resolved we will have to look into other parental control options, as our children are on the computer most of the day for school and I cannot afford to have him playing
games online.
Any advice to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
What is the maximum number of children accounts you can have in one Family Safety account for Windows 7?
