- Parental Control
- Posted by Oh_Danny_Boy on October 5th, 2005
Is there a software program that would allow me to place a parental controll
on one of the accounts on my PC.
I have 5 users set up on my PC and two of them are my young inpressionable
teens. So Id like to have a little more security for their surfing habits. Is
there a program that would allow me to set them on a restricted surfing, but
not effect my administrator account. yous know like they can only go to
certain web sites. Windows XP Pro lets me set them as a basic user but it
does not change the fact that they can get into any web site, and I do not
want any nasty stuff going on, but I can not be here all the time with
them.Thanks in asvance for any info you can give me

Thank Ya Kindly,
Danny

You may want to check with your ISP. Many ISPs now offer parental control
software to their customers, and it will be better and more thorough than
what is built in to IE.

For some requirements, you may find it easier to invest in a
3rd-party solution, such as NetNanny or CyberPatrol.
You need to be aware, however, that *NO* technical or software
solution is fool-proof, and _none_ can ever adequately take the place of
live adult supervision. If you cannot trust your children to
safely/properly use the computer without supervision, you may have to
consider limiting their access to it.

However, I'll point out to you that if your teens are determined to
find porn, they will. Blocks will simply make them more curious. It
might be better to explain to them that such activities are unhealthy,
and to trust them to avoid it.
