How can I keep my kids from screwing up their computers??

My kids have computers in their rooms. Every month or so they start complaining that the computers are slow. They are usually "gunked up" with the usual Kid crap. Any suggestions?

- Keep computer(s) in a common area.



- Restrict their access privilege -- Only parent should have administrator rights.



- Set rules what they can / can't do online.



- Tell them to recommend software, they you decide whether it can be installed.



- Make a system restore CD/DVD (Acronis True Image is an example) so it's easy to reinstall the operating system if the machine is messed up.



- You can also invest in software that restricts certain Web sites. There is also a hardware device (a cube -- can't remember name) that you can install on your broadband connection. It costs annual subscription but automatically updates itself and forces all the computers on your home network to obey the rules you set.



Don't hesitate to impose rules. You are the parent. The rules will keep them safe and help prevent time wasting problems.



Good luck!

Get Deep Freeze.



This program is been used in our school. It works great! What it does if you delete your whole icons off your desktop. All you gotta do is restart the system and its back to normal. Report It
