| | Browsing History and Parental Controls With Vista Premium I set restricted user accounts with parental controls and activity logs. Sometimes when I go to look it shows no browser activity. I think it may be because they are going in and deleting the browsing history. Is there a way to eliminate the ability of non administrators to delete the browsing history? -- Mark S. B. |

| | Re: Browsing History and Parental Controls Mark The browser history settings aren't involved in the Parental Controls. The restricted user can set their browser history settings to keep zero days and delete the history after they use the browser and this will not effect the activity log. The activity log appears to be updated dynamically as soon as a website is accessed. You can see this in action. 1. Log on with the childs account. 2. Open Internet Explorer and visit some websites. 3. Open Control Panel/Parental Controls/View Activity Reports. (You will need to use your admin password to get there) 4. In the Activity Reports, go to Web Browsing/Websites Visited. You should see the websites that you just visited. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Marksb" <Marksb@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:78BC9F80-A3C4-407C-A813-8388B85F72E4@microsoft.com...
