Windows SteadyState at Home

Using Windows SteadyState at home

Parents can use Windows SteadyState to help control and enhance their children's computer experience. They can customize the computer to be safer and easier to use. Internet access can be carefully controlled. Different levels of restriction can be applied for different children. In cases where a single machine is used by children and parents, the parents' configurations, programs, and files can be completely isolated from access by the children.

Control the Web

Parents may have concerns about their children viewing inappropriate content on the internet. Windows SteadyState helps give parents the control they want over their children's web access. All websites can be prohibited except for those the parent specifies as acceptable.

Control the programs

Windows SteadyState helps make it easy to control the programs and Windows features a child can access on a family computer. A parent can prevent a child from using Internet Explorer, Windows Messenger, or any other program installed on the computer. Windows management features such as Control Panel can also be restricted.

Control the experience

Parents can take full control of the family computer with Windows SteadyState. A few more examples are:

Simplify the interface by removing options from the Start Menu that your child doesn't need.
Apply a time limit to your child's computing sessions.
Block access to any hard drive, partition, or removable media you don't want your child to access.
