Billiumss Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I just built a new computer for my family and I want to use the group policy to lock out my 4 year old son so when he gets click happy, he does fuck up the computer. I have 4 accounts: - Myself - Kelly - Zachary - Guest How can I limit the use for just my sons account and the guest account? My wife and I have a simple logon password to keep him out of our logins. I know you go to RUN and type gpedit.msc, but I can't find where it goes by each users/account. If you have some screen shots, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

GRN96WS6 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 My computer > control panel > user accounts > change an account I don't think this is what Bill wants Brian. He wants his son to use the computer but doesn't want the consequences to happen when he clicks around like most younger kids do. I do not know where it is Bill but if you search google I'm sure you can locate something. I'll look around and if I find something I'll post back. What exactly do you want to do? Lock him out completely? Lock out right click? ( I know this can be done we do it at work) Gimme some details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiumss Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Ok, let me explain what I do know: - I have 4 "accounts" on the same computer, Myself, Kelly, Zachary (limited) & Guest (limited). - Myself and Kelly have a basic password to logon to the computer, Zachary and guest do not. - I poked around the group Policy and MMC and I can see where you can "turn stuff off". What I can't find is: - Adjusting each individual user configuration - My created account names are not listed in the Group Policy editor, just "User Configuration" Yes, I am logged on as myself, computer administrator. I don't understand what the snap in is. Basically, how can I have each individual accounts show up in the Group Policy Editor to edit?

smokin5s Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Are you using a Domain Controller? If not then you aren't doing group policy's, you are doing local policies... I now live right down the street from you. If you want me to stop by, I can show you how to setup local policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRN96WS6 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 You are NOT running a Domain controller most people do not run those at their house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjackson Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Redardless of the domain controller or not, you can always set up a seperate group for your son and just restrict the hell out of that group, then just add your son's account into that group through computer management. I'm sure there's other ways to do it too, that's always the case with computers and especially software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
