you need to get a firewall or url content filtering with those options.

You'll have to go into your internet options, security settings and lower your security level.\nTools, Internet Options, Security, Custom Level

You can't do this through internet explorer.\nRemember the borwser is on their system so they could go in and undo any changes you make.\n\nYou would have to do this through your gateway to restrict access to certain groups.

You can't do that with a SOHO class router.  You can do that with something beefier.  On the cheap, I'd strongly recommend IPCop, a free, open-source firewall system that runs on a spare PC with two NICs.  There are add-ons such as Dansguardian that you can use to limit internet access as well as others that will block outbound traffic by port, IP address, or MAC address.  Go to http://www.ipcop.org for more information.

You can't.  It has nothing to do with your computer.  It is all done through router configurations and block internet addresses.  Sorry you're stuck

Tweak utilities use the Group Policies keys so this should work:\nChoose Start, Run, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. Use the tree on the left to navigate to Local Computer Policy &#92;User Configuration &#92;Administrative Templates &#92;Control Panel. Right click on 'Prohibit access to the Control Panel', properties and 'enable'.\n\nEdit - If you are unable to assign users into groups I can not figure out how disable it for only specific users. I'd try posting it to the MS newsgroups.\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/

well i guess what you can do is create two separate accounts for both users and give limited access (not admin rights)\n\nYou would be connecting to the dsl network via a modem ,so uninstall the modem drivers for the user for whom you dont want to give net access and and install the the modem drivers for the user with net access.This should serve the purpose ,also for both users disable the right to install software..so the user you want to prevent from accessing net cannot install any drivers to be able to access the net

Try Zonealarm. There's a free version and a version that you have to pay for:\n\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com\n\nAlso, remeber that XP SP2 comes with a built in firewall. You can turn it on by using the Security Center in the Control Panel.\n\nHope this Helps!!

you can't really restrict access to this folder like that... not without making your own life harder..well you can but its abit indepth and if you get it wrong it will cause problem with the computer using the folder.. if you are using xp you could give him his own user account as a regular user, not administrator like your account would be... and as the administrator you could apply the content adviser so that most site of a certain type are blocked... he as a regular user will not be allowed to do certain stuff... like install programs and modify settings....\n\nI cant remember if user level restricts access to the temp folders in the sense to simply empty them.. \n\nBut to be honest if someone was on my computer doing something that i didnt want them to do.. i would make it that they just didnt use my computer... they could be opening you up to viruses.\n\ngood luck.\n\nps: perhaps its the facts that you dont find anything in the caches, especially when you haven't cleared it recently, is the proof that he's been doing something dodgy.\n\npps: if you dont mind making your own life narder then reduce your account down to a user lever and use the administrator account to do major stuff, instals etc... then he can't install stuff using your account.... and start the content advisor with a password that only you know.. this way when you use the computer you can turn the adviser off whilst he cant look as dodge stuff.

to block all the websites you have to block port no 80 on your computer through which connection to most of the websites are made. you can do this by blocking these ports with Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) or if you have windows xp service pack 2 then through windows firewall.\nyou can also enable the internet content advison and set it to the highest level then it will block almost all the websites.

Go Tools, then internet options.  Work on the security tab and content tabs.  If you have Nortons, it has a seperate Parental control tab.

I use Zone Alarm for a firewall. It has an option to lock and unlock internet acess.\n\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp

You can set the internet lock feature or get a parental control program that will log all actions.\n\n Also, when you create users you can set their permissions to have access to what ever you specify. Most motels and such use this so that guests can only surf the net and thats it. And even then most websites are blocked.\n\n But if all else fails.\nGoogle it!\n\nwww.google.com\n\nSearch for:\n free parental control programs

If you are trying to prevent access to certain things on the Internet (certain web pages, messenger etc) you could use a firewall.\n\nI would recommend Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall which is available for free at http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm\n\nYou could read the help files to figure out exactly how to block the sites and services you don't want to be able to access.

Go to Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc -> OK.\n\nThis will open the local group policy. In there go to User Configuration -> Windows Componets -> Internet Explorer -> Internet Control Panel. In there you can disable any of the tabs you want.

Well what you do is go to controle panel its in the start menu, and then you go to Network and Internet connections. then you click on internet options. and then go to security and it will say restricted sites, and then highlight the site and then press remove. I hope that helps you. (sorry about the bad spelling)
