I have my children's netbooks set up to launch kidzui at start up, with parental password required to exit, and of course full screen mode enabled. Now, here is my problem, win 7 by the way, both computers start up and do not auto launch to kidzui. both pop up several requests to allow reg edit (caused by kidzui editing to allow auto launch by the way). during this time, my kids can freely access anything on the computer. hmmm.. i understand that it takes a bit to load win 7 and to get kidzui launching, but why is the registry edit every time the computer starts and everytime I allow them out of kidzui to shutdown the computers? I am a bit curious. also, if Kidzui is locking down to no other access how is it they can click on firefox icon and gain access? please help

   Hello,

   You'll need to use the stand alone version of KidZui to avoid the registry edit prompt.
   

   To install the stand alone version of KidZui (which functions exactly the same as the Firefox Add-on) please follow these steps. Please install KidZui through an computer user account with Administrator privileges.
   

   1. In Internet Explorer please go to www.kidzui.com/download and click the green Download Now button.
      
   2. This will prompt you to Run, Save, or Cancel. Please select Run to begin your download.
      
   3. Once your download completes the KidZui Setup Wizard will open. On the first screen you see please select Next.
      
   4. On the second screen please select Install. This will install the KidZui browser.
      
   5. On the final screen please make sure there is a check mark next to Launch KidZui Browser and select Finish.

   This will launch the KidZui browser. Since you already created a Zuis please enter the Zui name and password into the login fields in the upper right corner of the KidZui browser. Then access the parental controls and enable auto start. Please make sure to disable the auto start on the KidZui Firefox Add-on.

   Next time the computer starts the stand alone version of KidZui should auto start without any prompts.

   Thanks,

   You may want to reinstall Adobe Flash. Please go here for instructions to do so.

   Also, please make sure that you have installed it through an administrator account and that your system time and date are correct.

   Thanks,
