You have certain DVD Videos (violence, horror, charm, etc) which you would not like that you dear small children can visualize in your absence when they are on your computer. If you use the multi-media reader Windows Media Player, you probably know that there is a parental control tool integrated inside Windows Vista which is very easy to activate. Here’s how you can activate Parental Control in Windows Media Player:
After having created an account user specific to your children, as an Administrator mode initially (to be able to carry out the modifications necessary), launch the multi-media reader Windows Media Player while passing by Start menu, the icon placed on the desk or while typing command “wmplayer” in the dialog box Run.
Click on the small arrow placed below the tab “Reading in progress”. In the drop-down menu which is posted select “Additional Options…”
From there, click on tab “DVD”, then on the button “Modify” in the part “Restriction of the readings of the DVD”.
In the new window which appears, a drop-down menu proposes 9 choices: “No”, “Any public”, “Level 1”, “Level 2”, “Level 3 - Prohibited at least of 12 years”, “Level 4”, “Level 5 - Prohibited at least 16 years”, “Level 6 - Prohibited at least of 18 years” and “Level 7 - Classified X”. Here you have to choose the level of restriction which seems to you more adapted. Click then on OK to validate these changes.
Once the operation is finished, leave the session and connect yourself with the account Administrator. Then place the account of the children in limited account so that they cannot change the modifications. It is finished.
Although this functionality makes it possible to filter a good number of DVD’s, note however that it is not compatible with all the DVD Videos on the market.
