- Select "Control Panel" from the options under Settings.
- Click on "Family Safety" where it appears over on the left in the Control Panel.
- Click on "Manage settings on the Family Safety Website."
- Login to the family safety account using the same user password as is on your computer. Click "view activity report" on the user you want to set up parental controls for.
- Click on "Web Filtering," and select "Turn on web filtering" to filter what the user can access on the Internet. Select the "designed for children" option and click "save."
- Select another parental control option, like "Time limits." Set the limits you want on the computer use, and click "Save." again.
Warnings
- You'll need to set up a separate user account besides your own in order to setup parental controls.
