Hi all,
A friend of mine called me tonight. She just got a new computer and each
of her kids has their own user account. She wants me to set things up so
that only her and her husband's user accounts will have internet
access. Is there a way to do this? I know in WinXP you can change a
user account to limited but does that mean that they cannot get online?
Also, any recommendations for a "netnanny" type of thing for her?
Couple of options, most of which are probably more trouble than your
friends want to deal with. Set the firewall to block port 80. The
parents will have to log into the firewall to turn it on when they use
it and remember to turn it back off again.
If it's an xp pro edition, look at the local policies to edit them to
disable IE. I don't think this can be done on the home edition. This
link looks at some of the ways to do this:

Don't have any recommendations for nanny's since I don't have anyone
that needs minding; they are all old enough so I can ask them to take
care of me.
