Folks, one clean way of simply disabling that function is that most people didn’t bother thinking of looking at it from a “service” point of view, as in the “Administrative Tools”-”Services” point of view:-) If you’re not the administrator of the computer in question though, tough luck.
Simply go to “Administrative Tools”-”Services” then find “Windows Live Parental Control”. Right-click on it and go to “Properties” and at the section “Startup Type” –choose “Disabled”. Next go to the tab above named “Recovery” and for all three levels, choose “Take no Action” and voila!
You may also find in the list of services one that’s called simply “Parental Control”. Simply do the same thing all over. Once you’ll restart your computer, when your startup programs will be loading after your initial Windows Vista login, you will see an error message saying you may not be able to access Internet. BUT YOU ACTUALLY CAN :-) because the service has not only been disabled, but it also has been set as “TAKE NO ACTION”, so Windows can’t interfere.
How did I find this out! Well, although I am a control Freak as to what services I want active/inactive in my computer (it DOES have drawbacks sometimes being a control freak, but it also has Benefits! Hehe!) I just thought of it by a fluke random thought actually by double-checking which services were active and found out what I wrote just here. And if you can live with the fact that there will be an error message at the startup (which I consider more like a scare tactic than anything else), you can kiss Parental control goodbye and say “I am in control of my computer”, (and with Austin Power’s voice) groovy baby, oh yeeeaaaaah! :-)
