Hello fellas,

What I've been thinking about is creating a separate user account on my PC only for poker purposes. With games, internet, email, etc. blocked. I would like to reporoduce sth that you can see in university class computers or in libraries' comupters - a user that has certain programs and locations on the HD blocked.

I've created a new user and used Parental Controls to add poker apps to the 'whitelist', but encountered following problems:

1) Some apps have interdependencies - I've added antivir.exe, but antivir_tray.exe, anitvir_help.exe, antivir_update.exe are blocked -> thus the antivir is still blocked. Furthermore I get like a dozen of popups "xyz.exe has been blocked due to Parental Controls" for some system apps I guess.
2) The poker apps configs are set to default. Though I can easy handle with the pokerroom setting, the tracker asks for the license code :f_ugly: The base is probably also not shared.
3) Cosmetics: I'd like the windows layout to be the same as my main account - the same icon spacings, size, wallpaper etc. Possible to easily copy, or has to be done manually, feature by feature?

Can this be done more easily and more efficient?

BR

Hi there just want to ask why would you like to do that? What you want is possible but a little hard to do. It just like making an limited account were you can only do is play poker but internet access will still be possible.

Hello,

The point is I want to eliminate distractors - facebook, youtube, skype, or the internet browsing. I know that my self-control as a poker player should be strong enough to resist, but this poker-only-account would be helpuful _drink:
