question: is there a way with windows XP home edition to limit internet
explorer web access. ie: it's a kids computer and with AOL you can set the
hours of each day that you can access AOL, but i want to block ALL web
access, not just going to AOL, during certain hours of each day. i don't
want it to shut down the computer, don't want to limit any other functions of
XP or any other programs on the computer, just disable IE web access during
certain hours of each day.

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 parental supervision. If you cannot trust your children son to
safely/properly use the computer without supervision, you may have to
consider limiting thier access to it.
