Hi Riva - I'm sure if you want to spend the time, you can set up XP to block this for you. However, for a small amount you can use a program like NetNanny. I had a family who were having similar problems a few years ago (more with the content surfed for versus access in general). We installed the program and they were very happy with the results.
You can get a trial on their website if you want to check it out.

This family is not that computer savvy, so the easier the better. Any other creative ideas on how to stop the kids getting online by themselves?
