moo Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Someone suggested blocking websites that you use to check up on your ex. I think it was Thomas X. Thanks a bunch. I found out my computer has Parental controls. The only thing is that I had to create a new user account to use them. I could not use them in the main (administrator account.) They told me I would have to set up a password for the administrator account to use the parental controls, but I did not want to use a password. So they told me I had to create a new user account. (It was a little confusing). Anyway, I was able to create another 2nd account without a password and I was able to use the parental control by logging into this other account. I put in the websites I wanted blocked and I when tried getting to them under the new user account, and the computer would not let me. This is right for me, because I just kept going to the sites about once or twice a week to see what he was doing. I just have to be disciplined and log into the computer using this second account. Of course, as with blocking emails, you always have the chance to look at the blocked list and see the website addresses that you blocked. But for now, this is what I need. Thanks, a bunch.
Thomas X Forever Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 No problem. I hope it works out. That's a good way to tie it up, too, to have your roommate delete your list with time.
Author moo Posted July 24, 2009 Author Posted July 24, 2009 Yes. I deleted the last part because I ended up repeating myself, but the last part did include that I was going to have my friend delete it with time.
