CREATING WINDOWS INDEPENDENT PROFILES

You can create user profiles that are completely independent of your Windows user accounts. These profiles are useful in the following circumstances:

  • You are not using Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista so there are no Windows user profiles available for CyberPatrol to link to.
  • You prefer to have just one Windows profile to log into the computer but would like each user to have their own CyberPatrol user profile.
  • You want to create a CyberPatrol user profile on a temporary basis and you do not want to have to create a Windows user profile at the same time.
  1. From the Options Menu, double-click Welcome to CyberPatrol, then Manage User Profiles.
  2. In the Manage User Profiles screen, click Create User.
  3. If a dialog informs you that CyberPatrol has detected Windows User Profiles and asks if you want to link to them, click No.

    Win Detected

  4. Enter a name and password for this user profile into the New User Profile dialog. Do not select the Windows User Name Integration check box.

    Create Non User

  5. Click Next.
  6. Set the filtering and monitoring level for this user.
  7. Click Next.
    You will now see a summary of the settings for this user:


  8. Finish

  9. Click Finish.
    The profile appears in the User Profiles section of the Manage User Profiles screen:

    User Profiles

  10. Choose an image from the Blocking Style list box and click Preview to see what this page will look like when it appears in front of the user. As a safety mechanism, CyberPatrol automatically sets the Switch to Default option to the Default user profile after a certain length of time. For more information, see the Switch to Default section below.

  11. Click Save.

  12. (Optional) If you want to make an instant copy of this user profile, click the Duplicate User button. You can then edit parts of this new profile, if needed.
