there are ways to do it, that are not built into Windows.
one way that would work in an ideal world would be to set up everybody's
account to block all content with Ratings above zero. then acquire a macro
recording program, and record every keystroke you use to change the level of
content allowed for users of Adult accounts. then put your recorded macro
in the Startup folder for users of Adult accounts only, but not users of
Child accounts.
but alas, this is not an ideal world. although the tools would work, the
effectiveness depends on compliance by all the world wide web sites, which
as it turns out, do Not all have Ratings. lots of good web sites and lots
of bad web sites do Not have Ratings. choosing to Block all the web sites
that have no Rating will eliminate many perfectly good and appropriate web
sites.
even if they all had Ratings and the ratings were not false, this system of
Ratings would only protect your children, if the only program they ever use
to interact with the internet was Internet Explorer. to achieve that, you
would have to remove access to any Email program, instant messaging / chat
program, music player program with access to vulgar songs or stations, file
swapping program, FTP, telephone dialer program, and conferencing program,
all of which are built into Windows.
and even all the above would not meet your need to log their activities.
looks like your best choice for now is Cyberpatrol.com
but eventually they will grow up, fully protected from all the bad
influences of the world, thanks to Cyberpatrol, Vchips, and Home-schooling.
then will they be prepared to deal with bad influences of the world ? i
certainly was not, when i left home, and took my first job -- with a foreign
oil company near Bangkok. at what point do we gradually expose them to the
ugliness of the real world, and how slowly ? certainly that's up to each
parent to decide -- not me.
maybe the world would be a better place, if we took away all the telephones,
cell phones, TVs, radios, internet connections, and raised all our children
the way Amish do. the Amish are certainly stable and morally upright.

Hi,
I'm setting up an XP system for my family. The system will be used by
several adults and a couple of kids.
I want to use contents advisor in Microsoft Explorer to block the kids from
accessing any adult content. I'd also like to be able to log what sites the
kids are looking at or trying to look at. At the same time, I want to leave
the adults free to do what they want.
Up till now, however, I've only been able to configure the contents advisor
for all accounts. I want to configure it separately for each Windows XP user
account. Is there a way to do this?
Cheers
Karl
