Hello.. hi, currently i have 3 user accounts in my
computer. 2 of them are computer administrator (password
protected) accounts and the other one is a limited
account (without password).I'm using a broadband internet
connection. My question is, how do i deny anyone who
logged on using the limited account from accessing the
internet. I mean like as if they don't even have an
internet connection..

Thank you..
 
That's not a feature of Windows XP. I believe that products like Norton
Internet Security can do that.

One workaround you could try is to go into the "Network Connections" folder
(look in Control Panel under the network icon)
Find the icon for your connection to the broadband service (it may show as a
Local Area Network connection) and right-click the icon. Choose DISABLE.
When you want to turn it back on, choose ENABLE. The trick is, only
Administrators will be able to enable or disable it. So if you disable it
when you leave the computer, nobody will have access until you re-enable it.
If you leave it enabled, everyone will still have access once you log off.
