Prevent children from using specific programs
You can use Parental Controls to determine which specific programs your child can use. For example, if you use a program to keep track of your finances, you can prevent your child from opening it and viewing your financial information.
  1. ?id=microsoft.windows.resources.shellexecutetopiciconClick to open Parental Controls.?id=18abb370-ac1e-4b6b-b663-e028a75bf05b If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. Click the name of the person you want to prevent from using specific programs.
  3. Under Parental Controls, click On.
  4. Click Allow and block specific programs.
  5. Click Person's namecan only use the programs I allow in this list.
  6. Select the programs that you want to allow. If the program you want doesn't appear in the list, click Browse to locate the program.
    Tip
    • Make sure that you select all of the programs that you want your child to be able to run. Parental Controls will block any program not selected in the list......This is what I have for parental controls located in contol panel area under user accounts and parental control just try to undo the control....if it does not work you may need to restore to a earlyer time or even worse use a restore disk and redo the entire machine...if restoringthe complete hard drive remember your windows pass key or you may regret restoring the drive with boot disks. hope this helps.!
