How do I stop the kids visiting certain websites?
 

Okidoki,
I'm on XP Pro & using different desktops per person.

I'm on as admin, as is my eldest.
However I want to be able to make it so that my youngest 2 kids cannot access certain websites.

Admin edit: < I think most of us know what is out there, no need to give examples, especially very sick ones. >

Although getting somethink like netnanny might be nice, I don't wanna pay for owt that can be done with IE etc.

How do I set it up so that the 2 youngest cannot access these sites, as when I go into thier profiles I cannot access the IE settings to ban those sites?


Cheers.

Here is a good free filter program:

But that doesn't work on limited accounts though. They would need an admin account on the desktop.

Thanks but does it respect profiles & applicable to only certain ones?

I'll have a look but would rather do it on a per profile basis using the existing stuff I have that came with XP.

Try temporarily upgrading a user to admin, and then installing on their account, then downgrade the user (I often do that over my office network so i can put specific user settings or software in place that I can't control properly through network user policies).

But does it then limit that user only and allow other users to access sites that would be restricted to the original user?

"I" want to be able to go to rotten.com but I don't want my kids to, if you get what I mean.

OK, had a look at Naomi.

She isn't much use.

I cannot see how to make certain sites unnacceptable, there appears to be no "install" folder as such.

Where is it configured for what can 7 cannot be accesed?

Also, it's on my desktop too despite me uninstalling it from mine.

So the original question still remains.
How can I do this from my desktop to the kids settings using IE etc?
