For Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows Vista Home Premium, or Windows 8

Warning: before uninstall internet explorer, make sure you have firefox downloaded & installed already.

from: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-sg/wind ... t-explorer

Open Programs and Features by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Programs and Features.

In the left pane, click View installed updates.

Setup Limited User or Parental Control

For Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows Vista Home Premium, or Windows 8

Use the Parental Controls feature. Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts And Family Safety and do these steps:

Create a new Administrator-level account that no one will normally use. You do this in Start > Control Panel > User Accounts And Family Safety. Tip: it can't be named "Administrator" because Windows owns that name already. I usually name it "Admin".

After creating an Administrator-level account, change all of your daily-driver account(s) to Standard Users if they aren't already. You do this in Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > User Accounts > Change Your Account Type.

Enable Parental Controls on each Standard User account, and click Allow and block specific programs, then choose This user can only use the programs I allow, and click "Check all" once the list is populated.

That's it! Anything that's not on the list will not be allowed to run unless you approve it.
