Default Limewirw and Vista Parental Controls

Limewire will not work with bare-bones parental controls. How do I maintain some level of control over what my kids can get into on the web but still allow them access to Limewire?

Thanks

About all you can do other than standing over them is to add appropriate words to the keyword filter in LW. You can find it by going to Tools>Options>Filters>Keywords, and add words from there. Also on the LW search page click on "Whats New" on the lower left of the page, and tick the box "Hide Adult Content".

More instructions in this thread: Direct instructions to eliminate porn from results

There's no way to completely block adult content from LW. Some people mislabel porn files with innocent names, and you won't know what it is until you play it.

Hope this helps. I don't have Vista so there maybe a way with it to filter adult content.

Thanks 6_pac.

I should have been more specific because the parental controls that Limewire won't work with are the MS Vista controls.

As long as Vista's parental controls are turned on, the kids can't even open Limewire.

Sorry for the confusion, 6_pac.

I'm going to post another thread and try to be clearer as to what I need.

Thanks for your help.
