Note: You must be running NTFS as your file system.

XP PRO: In Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck Use Simple File Sharing. Now, when you right click on a drive, folder or file (on an NTFS partition) and select Properties, you'll see a Security tab. Here you can assign or deny permissions based on user name or user group membership.

In Windows Explorer, browse to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE Right click this file and select Properties. Go to the Security tab. Click Add and add your niece's Username to the Security Properties *** and then click the Deny permissions boxes, as you desire. Denying Read and Execute will prevent her from running IE on her profile.

DO NOT set Deny permissions on the Users Group. All users (regardless of account status) are members of Users.
