How to Change Zune Family Permissions
The Microsoft Zune music software is a worthy media jukebox, even if you don't have the Zune hardware to go along with it. In addition to buying and/or subscribing to music and video, it organizes and catalogs your media collection. However, you might decide that not every member of your family should have access to every song or video. To that end, Microsoft has enabled parental controls, so that parents can be sure that what their children are viewing, listening to or downloading is appropriate for them.
