So I stumbled across the Security features on my Macbook Pro. My kid's been bothering me to play with my Mac. But, I was worried about him running across the "evils" of the internet that daddy regularly "stumbles" across.
Anyway, I enabled a guest account and then activated Parental Controls. But, foolishly, I saw a minus sign over the "Other" tab and clicked it, believing it would expand. Instead, the minus sign disappeared. So I clicked it again, and now there's a check mark there. When I finally expanded it, there was a whole slew of programs that asked me whether I wanted to allow the guest access to them. But, I never got to see what the default settings were. Also, I have no idea what many of these programs do, whether they are vital or not.
Basically, I just want to know what the default settings for parental Control are under the "Other" folder.
Also, how do you create additional "guest" accounts. I figured my two older boys (6-8) would appreciate their "own" accounts. You know, kids like to think they have something special just for them.
I tried to name that Guest account but got freaked by the warning that any changes may make the account unusable. I'm guessing that that first Guest account cannot be deleted or modified, right?
Thanks.
