How to Use the Parental Controls on Internet Explorer

Let's face it, the Internet can be a great place for learning and interacting with friends, but it is also a wild place with lots of content that can be unsuitable for kids. Fortunately, Internet Explorer has parental controls that you can adjust according to what you do and do not want your children to be exposed to online. These parental controls can be adjusted according to a child's age and your own values.

Instructions

Control What Your Children See Online

Go to Internet Explorer on your computer. Click on 'Tools' from the toolbar in the upper right-hand corner of the Web browser.

Select the 'Content' tab.

Find the 'Content Advisor' heading and click on the button labeled 'Enable.'

Choose a category from the list. This list will present you with a variety of content categories that you may not want your children to see, such as sites depicting drug or alcohol use, violent images, nudity or bad language.

Click on the category you want to control. Then use your mouse to move the slider below the list to set the degree of restriction you want on that type of site. the degree of restriction can range from no restriction at all to the complete blocking of those sorts of sites.

Click 'OK.'

Set a password. You will be prompted to do so at this point. Setting a password will ensure that no one but you is able to adjust the parental control settings.

Windows ME Compatible Browsers

Windows ME was the final version of the Windows 98 operating system that Microsoft released prior to coming out with Windows XP. Due to this fact, there are limitations as to the browsers that will function well on this platform. The latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome will not work on Windows ME, but older versions of several browsers will. They are all available for download.

Most Popular Browser for Windows ME

Windows ME was not a widely successful operating system and often unfavorably compared to Windows 98 SE that preceded it. At the same time, Microsoft's version of Internet Explorer, version 6 especially, had problems of its own. The best widely used browser for Windows ME was Firefox, which was then known as Netscape Navigator version 4. Netscape Navigator later became Netscape Communicator version 5, then Firefox.

Other Browsers

There are many browsers on the market, and they all have gone through various revisions over time. Several will perform well on Windows ME with even their latest versions of the browser. A good example of this is Opera, which supports all Windows systems in its current release. Others that may work well for ME include Apple's Safari browser, Ace Explorer, Off by One, TheWorld Browser, the Avant Browser, and so on.

ACE -Advanced Composition Explorer Mission

The Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft was designed to study spaceborne energetic particles from the L1 Libration Point, about 1.4 million kilometers from Earth. Specifically, the spacecraft was launched to investigate the matter ejected from the Sun to establish the commonality and interaction among the Sun, Earth, and the Milky Way galaxy.

In addition, ACE also provides real-time space weather data and advanced warning of geomagnetic storms. ACE's nine instruments have a collecting power that is 10 to 10,000 times greater than anything previously flown. After launch, the spacecraft's Delta 2 launch vehicle's second stage reignited (for 4 hours) to insert the satellite into a 177 x 1.37-million-kilometer orbit.

After reaching apogee a month after launch, ACE inserted itself into its halo orbit around the L1 point. The spacecraft was declared operational on 21 January 1998 and has operated far beyond its expected lifetime.
