Use Parental Controls Feature to Block specific Websites For a Normal User

The Parental Controls Feature in Windows Vista will allow us to filter the websites and contents children can view on the web. For instance, block kids from using facebook or other similar sites. Before setting this up, we should make sure your child has a Non-administrator account so they can’t immediately reverse the changes.

The following are the steps to block specific websites and contents:

To allow or block specific websites

1.Open Parental Controls by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, and then, under User Accounts, clicking Set up Parental Controls. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2.Click the account that you want to set up the web filter for.
3.Under Parental Controls, click On.
4.Click Windows Vista Web Filter.
5.Click Block some websites or content.
6.Click Edit the Allow and block list.
7.In the Website address box, type the address for the website you want to allow or block, and then click Allow or Block.

To block some web content automatically

Turning on the web filter should significantly reduce the number of websites your children might view that contain content you have decided is objectionable. However, objectionable content is subjective, and the filter might not block all of the content that you want it to block. Also, because new WebPages are published all the time, it takes time for the filter to analyze and rate the content.

1.Open Parental Controls by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, and then, under User Accounts, clicking Set up Parental Controls. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2.Click the account that you want to set up the web filter for.
3.Under Parental Controls, click On.
4.Click Windows Vista Web Filter.
5.Click Block some websites or content.
6.Under Block web content automatically, click the content level you want.
