Family safety with user profile accounts

Hello all,

I am new here so I'll explain as well as I can.

I am administrator using admin account/.

I have locked several drives from the guest account using security tab in properties.

I installed family safety and windows live was set to auto complete the password.

Now when I use the internet in Guest profile the family safety scanner auto completes.

I want the guest profile locked down.

The auto complete is disabled as admin however this is not transferring to the guest account.

Hopefully its an oversight and will not be too complex to solve.

Someone may have a better idea but how about disabling the Guest account and creating a Standard user account (can create as many as needed) for each person using the computer. Then you can use Vista's built in Parental Controls,

Parental Controls - Setup and Use

to control what each account has access too.

Re: Family safety with user profile accounts

Okay a possibility

Halfway there! it seems that in locking my documents with security procedure I stopped the write function. I have now alllowed write to docs and solved the log in autofill.

I now have to reapply the security to other parts of docs by creating a new folder within and applying restrictions in turn to that.


Cheers for reply.
