Link building Company will help you | Simple Website Templates. Every great website and web design needs a starting place or point.

Using our simple sea website templates on our site you can buy website templates

Parental Controls: MC has parental controls in it. There are seprate settings for TV and DVD (you can't set TV ratings with antenna). The DVD parental controls let you set the maximum rating a DVD can have to play, if you try playing a DVD that is rated higher then it will ask you for your 4 digit security code (which you set up when activating parental controls). You can block ratings for TV shows by actullal rating, or by individulal settings (Fantasy Violence, Violence, Suggestive Dialogue, Offensive Language, and Sexual content). If you try watching something higher, it will ask for the code before letting you.










Windows Audio Converter: This program allows you to convert audio files to a different type, or a different bit rate.

Windows Dancer: This program causes a dancer to appear on your desktop, you can let them only dance when there is music, or all the time. You can disable this.

Windows Party Mode: This was created for people that like to have guests over. It allows you to start Windows Media Player without letting your guests have access to anything else on the computer. Your guests will have access to you music files, and your video files, but nothing else on the computer. This is great to turn your computer into a jukebox for a party.

Ease of Use: Once MC is installed, it is pretty easy to use. I spent 5 minutes showing my fiancé the controller, and what all the buttons do, and she was at it like a pro. This is a woman who can't even program the VCR and she already set MC up to record her soaps for the next few weeks. You do not need to be computer literate or even know anything about them in order to use MC. All it needs it to be set up, and you can buy a computer already set up with MC. It doesn't take long at all to learn how to use the features in MC, all the settings are in plain English, there are no weird computer terms that somebody who doesn't know computers might not know. If you don't know anything about computers yourself, you can purchase a MC computer rebuilt and they will do all the computer setup for you, all you will have to do is set up MC itself once you get the computer, which is really easy to do.

CD/DVD Burning: Microsoft includes a function to burn recorded TV shows to a CD or DVD. You can use this if there is a TV episode you want to keep or share with a friend. The program burns the show as a dvr-ms file; it is playable on any Windows XP machine with SP1 or higher. You can not play the DVD you burn on a regular DVD player. The program burns the DVD the same way it records it, so if you record a one hour show in the best quality, it takes up 3.18GB of space. Since a DVD is only 4.7GB, you would only be able to fit one hour long show per a disk. They say you can burn to CD also, but since the shows are so large I don't see how.
