Guest DerFlieger Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 We have a rather adventurous teen. We'd like to limit the number of applications on her desktop and password restrict IE7. When I set up a new desktop account it randomly included a number of applications, including IE7, and it wouldn't let me delete any.
Guest R. McCarty Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Re: Password Restrict Access to IE7 XP provides parental controls, the following describes them: http://www.windows-help-central.com/parental-controls-in-windows-xp.html Just be aware that children over the age of 12 are far more knowledgeable about computers than parents realize. ANY & ALL restrictions will be seen as a challenge and won't take very long to be overridden. I'm not suggesting you shouldn't try to restrict access but it's very difficult to achieve/maintain.

How to Limit access to website by Configuring Content Advisor Settings http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/ierk/Ch08_c.mspx?mfr=true Now come to Programs: You need to log as Admin with your Account (I hope you set the Teen as Limited user) and open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and locate the Teen User Name (Account) and locate this entry: C:\Documents and Settings\Limites User\Start Menu\programs= Look in the right pane/window and se which Programs you want disallow access and Remove them. If the Teen been given Admin Account you can chnage the Account to Limited by doing the following: http://www.microsoft.com/protect/computer/advanced/useraccount.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/winxp/accounts.mspx#1 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/tips/advanced/adminaccount.mspx HTH, nass --- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

The best control program for children is to move the computer to the family room.
