How to Run ScreenLocker®

Step by Step

  1. Install ScreenLocker If you haven’t already downloaded and installed ScreenLocker, do that first.
  2. Open ScreenLocker Click on your Windows START menu, find the shortcut to “ScreenLocker by Russ” and click on it.
    Start-Screen-Locker-Kids-Computer-Timer
  3. Enter Minutes to Wait Enter the number of minutes you want to wait before locking the screen automatically.
  4. Click “Set Timer” Be sure you know your own computer password, and click “Set Timer.”  The ScreenLocker will disappear  and your kids will now have X minutes before the screen locks and you must log back into the computer.  I’d suggest using filtering software of some sort to ensure that your kids don’t go to dangerous sites, too.
