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. Why am I presented with two login screens on Windows 98
and Windows Me?
The
two login screens are a standard Windows feature
associated with multiple Network Providers.
If you keep the password the same for both
Login's, Windows will only present you with
one Login screen. |
3. What is the difference between setting up user accounts
in Control Panel and adding accounts via the Time Control
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. |
4. If there is no activity on my computer does Time Control
automatically log you off?
Yes,
if you login to your computer and walk away
from it Time Control will log you off automatically
when your time limit has been reached. |
5. 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. |
6. I have two computers in my house; can I install Time Control
on both of my computers?
You
can install KidsWatch on up to 3 computers.
You will need another KidsWatch licence for
the 4th computers onwards. |
7. 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. |
8. 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. |
9. How can I control or limit my child's
Internet usage?
Time
Control 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. |
10. How much does Time Control cost?
11. How do I order Time Control?

12. What are the system requirements for running Time Control?
13. What features are available on Time
Control?
14. Will my family know Time Control is
running on the computer?
Yes,
the first time they receive a message indicating
that their computer or program time is about
to expire they will realize that you are controlling
their computer time. Aside from the messages
there is no other indication that Time Control
is running on their computer. |
15. Can my kids stop Time Control from working or circumvent
the time restrictions?
No,
Time Control was designed and developed with
security in mind. Your children will not even
be able to see it running and will not be able
to circumvent any of the time restrictions. |
16. How will my family know when their time
on each application, game or the Internet is soon to
expire?
They
will receive a 5 minute warning that their
time is about to expire and then additional
warnings at 1 minute intervals. |
17. Is Time Control difficult to install and use?
No,
Time Control was designed for someone that
is not computer literate. Each page instructs
the user to exactly what they need to do. We
have included a user guide on the CD-ROM and
also offer free telephone support for any additional
questions that may arise. |
18. Can my child change their access privileges?
No,
only individuals that you designate as administrators
are able to set or change computer and program
restrictions. |
19. What if I forget my password?
| 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. |
