How to Setup Kid’s Corner in Windows Phone 8


For certain, your kid loves your smartphone. But what if his handiwork erases something important from your device; or what if he inadvertently sends out of context mails to your contacts; your boss for instance? But if you have Kid’s Corner in your smartphone there is no need to worry a bit. This never before seen feature lets kids play with apps, videos, music, and games at one aloof place on the phone while the rest of the stuff stays secure with a pin. Seems worthy a try; isn't it!
Here's how you setup Kid’s Corner
  1. Tap Kid’s Corner on the Start screen, and then tap Next. Alternatively swipe your Start screen and scroll to Settings in the App List. Tap to enter and select Kid’s Corner. 
  2. Click Next on the home screen to access Kid’s Corner content. 
  3. Tap apps, videos, music, or games and select items you want to add in the Kid’s Corner for your kid. Once you are done, tap Done
  4. Tap Next

You can now set a lock screen password for your main phone, in case you haven’t done so.
  1. Tap Set password and type your preferred password.
  2. Tap Confirm password and re-enter the password.
  3. Tap Match.
  4. Once you’re done tap Done and then Tap Finish
