Restricting DVD Movies in Windows Media Player

If there are DVDs that, because of their specific ratings, you don’t want to be played on your computer using Windows Media Player, you can block them from being played based on their rating. Note, however, that the blocking can be overridden by providing Administrative permission from the User Account Control.

Specify the Allowable DVD Rating

  1. With Parental Controls set up and turned on, start Windows Media Player from the Start menu if it isn’t already running.

  2. Click the Now Playing down arrow, and choose More Options to display the Options dialog box.

  3. On the DVD tab, click the Change button.

  4. In the Change Rating Restriction dialog box, specify the maximum rating you’ll allow.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Click OK.
