limit programs on user account

[Guest]

I set up a user account for my son, but I want to limit the programs he can
see/use. All of the Control Panel options for user accounts are things like
changing the password or the picture. How can I limit which programs are
available to him? Also, can I give him access to the internet with a
stronger firewall or filter than when I am logged in as myself?

You could check out "Set Program Access and Default" in Control Panel,
Add/Remove Programs (bottom Icon on the left).
Maybe that gives you what you want.
Firewalls are (by nature) network traffic related and that is a machine- and
not necessarily user-bound thing.
Haven't looked into it, but wouldn't be surprised if this cannot have
user-specific differences.
Maybe someone else knows this for sure.
