    restricting access to websites

    Hello,

    I'm looking for a way to set up a pc as a console for use by the public with limited access to a list of websites. It would be a pentium 4 with a broadband connection and a touch screen running Windows XP Pro and internet Explorer

    Can anyone suggest a way to create a list of websites which can be accessed and exclude all others?

    Ive looked at the Content Advisor part of Internet Explorer but it seems unclear. I wondr whether a bit of software can help.


    many thanks

    Volty

    This article applies to version 6 also. Although it does not specify XP.

    Also you should be able to do this by configuring your firewall.

    Thats excellent Jephree, thanks
    I think the first article - if it works - should be all I need

    Now....how can I configure Internet explorer to open full size with no controls....?

    (the reason why I'm asking this is to see if I can configure a console for under £1000 when currently they sell for £3-4000, thereby saving a charity a lot of money)

    cheers

    Not totally certain what your question is but perhaps:
