What is KidBrowse

Kidbrowse is a way for parents to know their small children will be safe when they are using the Internet.  

My oldest son is 3, and he loves to play games online.  I first designed KidBrowse to aid him in finding the sites he likes to play at, and to allow him easy access back to those sites if he clicks in a wrong place.

Now since people have asked for Kidbrowse, I decided to make some changes.  I have added the ability to customize the content of the browser.  Doing this however defeated the purpose of not just letting kids use the regular IE browser.  With this in mind, I have added "Parental Controls".  This is password protection from the settings areas, so only parents can make changes.

How to Change the Parental Password

Go to "File" "Parental Controls"
 
In the first box "Current Password" leave it blank if this is the first time you are changing the password, otherwise put in the current password.  Then enter a new password in the second box, and re-enter it in the third.
