Soündless Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 lock the applications that you dont want them to open, or delete the apps from the account Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41039-creating-an-account-that-only-allows-certain-programs-to-run/#findComment-293163 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Nonny Moose Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Make absolutely sure Word is never allowed to run then. It can bypass parental controls and allow other apps to run.

cardinal Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Make absolutely sure Word is never allowed to run then. It can bypass parental controls and allow other apps to run. The main thing to remember about parental controls is that they simply stop finder from launching those applications - they do not stop launching from terminal prompt or other means.
