Hi,
I'm dealing with some problems that have come about, with my oldest daughters computer usage. I'm a hair short of cancelling internet usage. I realize that, she can continue using the computer at her friends to get around stricter standards at home. But I need some help.....
What can I do to limit or terminate, usage of Internet Explorer and Msn Messenger on her user account on Xp, without effecting others users of the computer. I'm looking into Msn 9 right now, I've seen it's features and operation and I'm very pleased as a parent to see it's effectiveness. I realize no program is totally secure. I've been too easy going for too long, and my trust is now gone. The problem has started with her bonding, with the wrong crowd at school. She stays in communication with this crowd by using Messenger, they do not stay in contact over the phone.
Is there anyway to do this on Xp Home, without disturbing others that use the computer?
I don't want to totally shut her down, but I will, if I see the need to...
I realize that the computer habit's are not the only problem here, but I gotta start somewhere....
The next step, the Police..
Any Ideas?
Thanks all
