Unable to set user settings for administrators or unknown users
That is the error message I get when I try to modify parental controls. Help

...and is the account a standard user?
Did you run the sfc scan several times? Does the sfc scan now indicate no further problems?
You might create a new standard user account as a test and see if you can set the parental controls on that account.
If need be, try this:
Repair Install
Did you run the sfc scan several times?
Please post a screenshot of the one of your sfc scans.

Cool - earlier you mentioned that "I already tried sfc scannow, it came up with corrupt files..." and now the sfc scans are coming up clean.
I understand that you are working with a fresh install of W7, but have you tried creating a fresh user profile? ...one that starts off as a standard user. See if you can apply parental controls that that fresh test account.
Yes it did come up with corrupt files but I found out what it was about. And to elaborate, it was my tweak in the windows media library where I have changed the windows shutdown sound from default to my own preference. So sfc was a false alarm. It did NOT fix my problem. I already tried applying parental controls to a fresh account, but the issue persists. :/
