Windows XP can help you lock down a user from installing programs, but your
best bet for blocking web sites is to buy a 3rd-party solution. Windows XP
(and Internet Explorer) do not currently have robust (or even useable)
parental controls.

The ones within Internet Explorer currently are barely use able and do not
block anything except sites that use a very rare method of broadcasting their
adult nature.

So, look online for filtering software or make a trip to BestBuy. Or, wait
for Windows Vista in 2007, which *promises* (they say) to include very good
Parental Controls.

Don't get your hopes up.. If Micro$oft promises anything, like WinVista
to be "virus free", it's probably not gonna be kept.
