Parental Controls 



Did you know you can manage exactly which games your child plays with Window Vista’s Parental Controls? Caregivers can take an active role in determining what content is appropriate for their children by allowing or disallowing games by specific titles, game ratings and specific game descriptors. Additionally, you can manage exactly when your child can access the computer through an easy to use scheduling tool.

When you see the Games for Windows logo on the box of a game, you know Microsoft has tested that game for quality, compatibility and safety. All Games for Windows branded titles support the gaming features in Windows Vista, including Parental Controls.
