Windows 7 Parental ControlMicrosoft always attempt to provide families with flexible and effective safety features in Windows. The Windows 7 Parental Control is an extremely useful feature provided in the OS. It has majorly focused on the following objectives:

1. Abolishment of activity viewing functionality and web content restrictions from system Parental controls provider and reliance on third-party providers or Windows Live for these capabilities.

The web is changing much rapidly than we can update the Windows operating system. For example, Social Networking was barely known when Windows Vista was launched. Now, it has a complete web presence.

Windows 7 Live or a third-party solution that implement web based delivery of this functionality can provide Web filtering and activity viewing capabilities more effectively, now. For instance, web content filtering, file downloads restrictions, and activity monitoring services are provided by Microsoft’s Windows Live Family Safety free application. It also gives online contact restrictions for children using Windows Live online applications such as Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Messenger.

2. To enable third-party developers to create richer Parental Control capabilities that integrate well with Windows 7 Parental Controls Microsoft has developed the extensibility of the Parental Controls platform.

To fully replace the parental controls provided by Windows 7 or to allow multiple independent providers of Parental Controls functionality to be installed on the system, the Windows 7 Parental Controls platform was modified. Windows Vista allowed only fractional replacement of Windows Parental Controls but the web filter was replaceable. The entire Windows 7 Parental Controls user interface can be replaced by third-party providers in Windows 7. Also more web filter components are added to Windows 7. The underlying enforcement of the offline restrictions will still be performed by Windows 7 Parental Controls platform. Allowing a third party provider to change the whole Windows 7 Parental Controls, the user interface gives a consistent user experience that originally combines existing Parental Controls functionality with the newer ones introduced by the third-party.

The Windows 7 Control Panel Parental Controls screen still remains the central location and launching point on Windows 7 for Parental Controls functionality regardless of whether it is provided by a third-party provider or by system.
