    Parental Controls

    TIA

    I have to install a computer on a network that needs to be allowed access to
    about 100 websites only. All others should be blacklisted. I have read on
    the net that Vista has this ability. Where and how?

    Any information is greatly appreciated,



    Dave H.

    Hi Dave,

    I think you've read about the whitelist feature regarding UAC and
    programs, not web browsing.

    Cybersitter has a whitelist feature that should work for you. There is
    a business version as well. We recommend it to all our home clients
    with children.

    Read about the features here:

    Terry,

    I appreciate your response and thank you it seems like Cyber Sitter is a bit
    too much. Can't the UAC be configured with a white list?

    Again, thanks,

    Dave H.

    Dave,

    For programs, not web sites (AFAIK). What is a "bit too much" on
    Cybersitter? You could disable everything but the whitelist.

    I have to admit that I am confused. I was reading a site that stated that
    Vista's "Parental Controls" could create a "white list" of sites.

    With all due respect, why should I pay an extra $40.00US for a program that
    duplicates, features of Vista?

    RE: Parental Controls

    I am using vista and it does have the ability using parental controls to only
    allow access to web sites that you specify in a list
    You may like to check out this link which mentions some thing about
    domain-joined machines which may or may not apply to your set-up

    Well, for one, you didn't state you're already using Vista. So you want
    to pay for the upgrade for Vista, but complain about paying $40 for a
    different program that can do the same for less?
