I use MS Office 2007 on XP, with IE 8.
Following a recent “update” I now find that I have a Nanny sitting on my PC that refuses to allow me access to certain websites – not all of them “naughty” – it even blocked me downloading an update of Adobe Reader, so I can’t even access my PDF files.
I looked around for some help; went into IE Internet Options, opened Content Advisor and had to fill out a password to enable me to set all the sliders to “push off, Nanny” – with no effect at all.
I emailed Microsoft, and actually got a response. However, they said, go to Control Panel, User Accounts, then click on Parental Control. I could do the first two, but the third doesn’t appear as an option. I emailed them to tell them this, and their response is to tell me to post a question in the Microsoft Answers Forum – they obviously find my question too difficult for their tiny little minds.
Just to set the record straight: I’m 60 years old, there are no children in my life, much less on my PC – I think I’m old enough to be able to decide for myself where I want to go and what I want to see (that’s what the little x in the top forner is for) and I strongly object to being controlled by *someone else’s* idea of what I may or may not be allowed to do!
