Go to Start then Run. Type in \\pcname\c$, with pcname
being the name of the PC upstairs. If you have rights
you can see their hard drive. Not as nice as software
mentioned but it's free.

It is a mistake to give children net access from a bedroom. Kid's PCs
should be in the most parent-accessible room in the house (kitchen, family
room, living room), and parents should inform kids that their net use
will be monitored by adults, and every parent should periodically look
over their shoulders and inspect their history files.

Eternal vigilance is the price of parenthood.
