| | Family Safety - deleting I have 2 accounts, one for grandchildren and the administrator account which is the one I use. Unfortunately I installed family safety on the administrator account and I want to delete it from this account. It is a pain to have to continually turn it on and not be able to access ordinary websites! I want to delete the family safety from my administrator accound and don't know how to do it. I hope someone can tell me how to do this. Maggie |

Second, Control Panel> Setup Parental Control , click on your now standard acct., and click " off " under Parental Control heading. Third, Control Panel> Add/remove user accounts, change your standard user acct. back to admin. acct. If you encounter roadblocks along the way, please post your problem(s) as detail as possible. If it is successful, please let me know too. Thank you. Last edited by davidjchuang; 04-05-2008 at 02:48 AM.. |

| | Re: Family Safety - deleting I did go to "add/remove user accounts", but when I try to change the type of account from Administrator to Standard it does not let me do this; the help screen tells me It requires one Administrator for each machine. In the process of trying to change to a standard account though I unchecked the safety checkbox and now can't check it again! Once you tell me how to get around this obstacle, your instructions are very clear. Thank you for your help. -- Maggie "davidjchuang" wrote: Quote: > > Maggie472;672169 Wrote: Quote: > > I have 2 accounts, one for grandchildren and the administrator account > > which is the one I use.
