Password Restrict Access to IE7

[DerFlieger]

We have a rather adventurous teen. We'd like to limit the number of
applications on her desktop and password restrict IE7. When I set up a new
desktop account it randomly included a number of applications, including IE7,
and it wouldn't let me delete any.

XP provides parental controls, the following describes them:
http://www.windows-help-central.com/parental-controls-in-windows-xp.html

Just be aware that children over the age of 12 are far more
knowledgeable about computers than parents realize. ANY &
ALL restrictions will be seen as a challenge and won't take
very long to be overridden. I'm not suggesting you shouldn't
try to restrict access but it's very difficult to achieve/maintain.

How to Limit access to website by Configuring Content Advisor Settings
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/ierk/Ch08_c.mspx?mfr=true

Now come to Programs:
You need to log as Admin with your Account (I hope you set the Teen as
Limited user) and open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and locate
the Teen User Name (Account) and locate this entry:

C:\Documents and Settings\Limites User\Start Menu\programs= Look in the
right pane/window and se which Programs you want disallow access and Remove
them.

If the Teen been given Admin Account you can chnage the Account to Limited
by doing the following:

The best control program for children is to move the computer to the family
room.
