    Help with internet access

    Hi

    I have made two different user accounts on my computer one for me and one for my children. My question is how can I make it so they can only go onto websites I approve of and how can I make it so the ratings internet content on their user account is different to my account. I find I can only change it on mine and it affects both accounts but I do not want to keep putting in a password whenever I try and access a website but I do not want them going on to sites I feel are unsuitable.

    Hopefully I make sense and someone can help.

    Thanks

    I haven't got Vista so it doesn't seem to work for me. I will keep trying to work it out. There must be a way. Very frustrating!

    Sorry I didn't note that was a Vista link. Also sorry I didn't notice it was a subscription link.

    Anyway here is a quick Google which might show something:

    No problem Thanks for the google search link. I had tried that too and I can find programs to buy or download that do some wonderful things but so far unless I have vista nothing seems to make it that I can still go online without having to constantly put a password in to say each website is alright and of course if I turn it off I often forget to turn it back on before the kids get on!!!

    Do you have the kids on their own Limited accounts?

    If so I would think you could adjust each account accordingly.

    Yes they do but with XP I can't seem to make it so that they have different internet access to the admin account. If I change it in the admin one it changed the same when logging into their accounts when you try and change it in their account it says that it can't because they haven't got admin authority. I thought maybe someone might know if I was missing something.
