Hello DreXeL, you can either change your daughter's account type to an "Administrator" account by simply logging into your account and opening up "Control Panel". Once it has loaded up go to "User Accounts and Family Safety". Under the main heading, "User Accounts", click on "Add or remove user accounts". You will now be in the "The Manage Accounts" page and click on your daughter’s account and finally go to "Change the account type" and select "Administrator".
You could also set up or set up "Parental Controls" which you can customize to allow your daughter to either have access or completely block certain websites and programs.
To start off log into your account, once you are logged in type in "Parental Controls" into the start menu search bar and then click on your daughter's account.
Now this page (User Controls) will enable you to restrict the account from doing certain things. Under "Set up how (The Accounts Name) will use the computer", it will say "Parental Controls", now check the "On, enforce current settings". You can also check "Activity Reporting" to monitor exactly what your daughter is doing on the computer.
Under "Windows Settings", it should say "Windows Vista Web Filter", "Time Limits", "Games" and "Allow and block specific programs". If you first click on the "Windows Vista Web Filter" option. Make sure you highlight the "Block some websites or content". Under "Allow and block specific websites" click on "Edit and Allow block list" and you can simply allow or block specific websites.
Going back onto the very first web restriction page, Under "Block web content automatically - Choose a web restriction level:", Choose either the High setting or the Medium one depending of course how you feel about this.
After that is all done click "Ok".
Once you are back onto the main "User Control" page, you can also set when you want your daughter to use the computer and which games you would like your daughter to be able to play, if any. Once you have configured them to your liking click on the "Allow and block specific programs" setting. This is where you can select the programs you want or don't want your daughter to use.
First of all make sure under the "Which programs can (The Account's Name) use" make sure that the "(The Account's Name) can only use the programs I allow" setting is checked. Now just simply go down the list and check all the programs that you would like your daughter to be able to use.
The easier way is to press the "Check All" button at the bottom and then just deselect the programs that you do not want your daughter to be able to use. Once you have configured it to your likening, click the "Ok" button and then "Ok" again.
