1. Sometimes when I restrict one program in the program tree other programs are automatically restricted.
Programs are restricted based on their name and location; therefore if you restrict one program in the tree and that same program exists in other parts of the program tree, it will also be restricted.

2. What is the difference between setting up user accounts in Control Panel and adding accounts via the Kids Watch Add User feature?
There is not much of a difference. Control Panel provides you with more options regarding the privileges a user can be set up with.

3. If there is no activity on my computer does Kids Watch automatically log you off?
Yes, if you login to your computer and walk away from it Kids Watch will log you off automatically when your time limit has been reached.

4. How many users can I establish?
There is no limit to the number of users you can have with their own unique set of computer and program restrictions.

5. Can I customize access privileges for each user?
Yes, just highlight the user you would like to work with and set their computer and program restrictions.

6. What programs or applications on the computer can I limit access to?
You should be able to limit access to any and all programs. Keep in mind that some programs, such as Antivirus or Firewall programs play a key role in the operation of your computer so you may want to be very selective as to what you limit or restrict.

7. How can I control or limit my child's Internet usage?
Kids Watch provides you with the flexibility to limit some or all Internet usage. So for example if you wanted to limit your children from surfing the Internet but permit use of instant messaging. You would just restrict Internet Explorer or whatever browser they use and allow AOL Instant Messenger, MSN messenger or whatever messaging service they were using. If you wanted to limit or restrict the Internet you would restrict the programs they are using to get to the Internet. Examples are Internet Explorer, AOL, Microsoft's MSN, and Netscape Navigator. If there is any doubt as to which programs allow them to get to the Internet, just restrict all programs with one click of your mouse button and only allow the ones that you are familiar with.

No, only individuals that you designate as administrators are able to set or change computer and program restrictions.

If you forget your password to all of the accounts that you have on your computer and can no longer login you may need to reinstall the operating system or purchase 3rd party products that allow you to set a new password.
