    Hi, new here. I love your KidRocket browser. The one thing that I was wondering on is the Time Lock Feature which I find great, but I was wondering if in the next version if you might could set it up so it could be set to specific time frames like 7am to 7pm or something like that.

    The other thing is; I was testing the beta features and the barbie.com link seems to spontaously be switching with noggin.com is this normal?

    Hey jtmax24, appreciate the comments :)

    I'll put that on the wishlist and look into something along those lines for the future.
    I really hate to use the system clock for anything, which is why the time in use timer and the new timelock run independently.
    The clock bottom right mirrors the system time/date already though.

    Nice catch on the browser link, was a late night, dangling chad from the site changes lol
    Fixed & all other changes checked again.

    Thanks

    Hi Greg,

    One suggestion here for a future improvement...

    I notice that whenever I exit the app and re-enter, the app is unlocked, and the time lock is reset to zero. It would be helpful to enable the parent to setup the lock password and timer up permanently. My idea is to put KidRocket in the Startup menu for the kids account. As soon as they login, KidRocket loads, and the time lock timer begins to count down.

    Of course, once my kids figure out they can turn off the computer and restart with a fresh time allotment, then I'll need to tackle that one. :-)

    Thank you for providing this useful tool. Good luck.

    Hey Uni :)

    Until just recently, thats the way Kidrocket worked on startup, I had to disable that functionality until its rebuilt though.
    Almost tried to fit it in this latest beta, but ran out of time.
    It will be back in the next v1.6 for sure, as an option in Admin this time.

    [ ]start in unlocked mode

    I'll keep an eye out moving forward on this though. ;)
