Windows 8: How the child safety

I myself have still not young, but I have sometimes parental controls for Windows 8 looked at, the name is therefore as Family Safety. A few words for those who are interested in it. In the settings of an account can be set to Windows 8, if this account is to be monitored by the Family Safety. Is that, then you can make the rules explicit account.

In case you have not initialized, no problem in setting up an account this step, the user accounts can be processed so as yet. From now on, you can impose restrictions on this account that are actually relatively easy to understand.Although there is information on the part of Microsoft, which provide virtually specifications that fit websites for kiddies, but one can work with blacklists.

Whether you own whitelists and blacklists are good? Certainly, for completely restricted surfing, otherwise you should probably opt for Microsoft's list - or you know the 100,000 porn sites for a blacklist? So - I yes, you certainly do not  , therefore, from a given list is already useful.

Here once more the overview page on "safe surfing for children" under Windows 8

Furthermore, there are the old things, such as the restriction on the time. This can be based on the time, or you have a budget to use.

Continue to see Windows 8: the good old blocking applications that does indeed work very well. Besurft be blocked sites or launch applications blocked, then an information message is displayed for the youngest. Applications can then unlock from parents, alternatively, the user can send a "release request". Incidentally, there is the possibility to send to a weekly report on the use of the account by mail. One, I think, a massive invasion of privacy - at least worthy of discussion.

Trust, but control is better - so it is always at least. Microsoft's Family Safety is not the solution to all problems. Violence, pornography and Co can be found everywhere, not only on the PC. In my youth, was still working with the exchanged Videkassetten who then showed Sibylle Rauch, Teresa Orlowski and co. Today it is easier and also another to come to various media. Such software can help with the youngest, the most important but should also be a decent media skills and education of parents and teachers (with whom I could never start anything) in its schools.via[Caschys]
