Windows XP Home Temporary Internet Files / History Access

[Guest]

I have a constant annoying problem using IE6 with other users. I'm using Windows XP Home Edition on my one PC. I'm signed in as the Administrator and the rest of my family each (wife and two kids) is signed in as a Limited Account User.

The problem is that I, as the Administrator, is viewing inappropriate material (adult websites), the option for access should be limited to myself only. IE6 plugs in all the cookies, files, and the history of the adult sites that I have visited. Even though this is true, IE6 should not make these sites accessable to the Limited Account Users.

Is there a way for me, as the Administrator, to limit the access of inappropriate material to my Limited Account Users?
To put it bluntly. I don't want my wife and kids to see the porn that I'm viewing or when.

Thanks, djacq

You have a couple issues here.
One is how to keep this and/or that user from visiting certain websites.
For that one needs to attempt this through content advisor, but more likely
by installing a third-party application intended to do just this, such as
the
NetNanny for Wives edition.
The second issue is that you are using an admin account when browsing.
Not only is this plain out unsafe, in this case it provides what you are
doing
to tweak things on your system in a way that can impact all account rather
than only the limited account you should be using when browsing. So, it you
let some site install a component used to access its site, and it sees it
can
do that install so that it will be available to all accounts, well I guess
you can
get the picture . . .

Give each person that uses the machine their own limited account.
Use an admin account only when you have to.
