Parental controls get a boost with Windows Vista - UPDATE - Video added

Published on June 23, 2006

With all the games on the market, how do parents ensure their children will only play the appropriate games at the appropriate times? The upcoming Windows Vista will include a slew of parental game controls that will please parents and perhaps annoy their children who want to sneak in some World of Warcraft before finishing their homework. The new OS can track, limit and even stop game usage for little Johnny or, as Microsoft calls him, Toby. Chris Donahue, Microsoft's Group Manger for Games for Windows, stopped by our Westlake Village, California office to show us exactly how the new controls work and how to set them up. Read more

Hello,
I checked that in Properties>start menu>customize> Number of start menu programs most opened I put there 6, but the space where the programs should come out does not come out. I have no idea why this happens. It is just empty. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?
Thank you

I did what you said, but the icons do not come out as the most recently used icons as well. Is this a TweakUI setup thing which I have messed it? I checked there, and I checked all that should be listed, there is a part says "allowing most frequent program to appear in start menu". That place is empty, I tried to drag and drop items there, does not seem to work at all.

Could very well be TweakUI which caused me a screw-up on the logon screen. I no longer use it.
