| | Parental Controls -- Downloads I'm finding Windows' parental controls quite unwieldy, if I understand them well. Our computer automatically downloads a benign update for FireFox, for instance, but then Windows Parental Controls blocks my kids from using the computer until I can be there to enter my password to allow that simple auto download to go ahead. This seems excessive, and I can't find a way to configure this well. |

| | Re: Parental Controls -- Downloads Hello, I've tried configuring Firefox in order to test this problem, and I haven't found a way. The problem with it is so that it seems that the EXE file that is updating Firefox is created just after update, so you can't add it beforehand to the allowed applications. Greetings, P.
