I have set up a user account on my laptop for my kids to log in. I have added Kidzui - restricted version. How can I remove Firefox and IE from that user account but keep them active on our other accounts so the kids can't just by pass kidzui and use a different browser?

   Hello Katie,

   You can do one of two things. To restrict access to these programs in their user accounts please log in to yours (the administrator) and go to Control Panel, Users, then select the user account you want to restrict. Within the controls for this account you can restrict access to any programs.
   

   The other way is to simply have KidZui auto start and run i locked mode. The KidZui parental controls allow you to change settings that control the security of the KidZui browser. You have the options to give your child full access to your computer or lock them into the KidZui environment. Selecting all three of the options below will effectively place KidZui in "Locked Mode," which will prevent your child from exiting KidZui and accessing any other programs or files on the computer. To adjust the parental controls, please follow these steps.

   1. Please click on the KidZui "K" icon to launch the KidZui browser.
      
   2. Once KidZui has loaded, you will see a button near the bottom of the screen that says Parental Controls. Please click on this button.
      
   3. You will be asked for your parent email and password. Enter this information to proceed.
      
   4. Once you've entered your information, you'll see three options:

   Full Screen Mode (Recommended) - This option sets KidZui to run in a full-screen mode, preventing your children from accessing the desktop.

   Password required to exit KidZui (Recommended) - This option will prompt the user for the parent password in order to exit KidZui. It also disables all keyboard shortcuts, fully preventing your child from leaving KidZui to access other programs on the computer.

   Automatically launch KidZui when computer starts - This option starts the browser as soon as the computer starts (or as soon as a user logs into that user account).
   

   1. Once you have set the various parental controls to your liking, click the red X near the top-left of the screen to save your changes. If you feel that one or more of these options does not suit your family, you are free to change them at any time.

   If you have any other questions, please let us know.

   Thank you,

   Sean D.
