Open your internet options (In IE, click on Tools, Internet Options), then
click the Content tab and click Enable Contnet Advisor. From there, you can
set a password for the supervisor. This will stop offensive sites without
the supervisor password.

If you are running Windows Xp Professional, you can also enable password
protection for individual programs. The data below was copied from my help
and support and is rather lenghty. You might also check Microsoft's
knowledge base and search for article KB143164

Protecting files and folders on your computer
You can protect the files and folders you store on your computer to make
them more secure. Because viruses and other privacy violations can threaten
the integrity of your files and folders, there are several ways you can
protect them. Click Related Topics for information about how to:

  a.. Set permissions on your files and folders to regulate which users can
gain access to them and in what manner.
  b.. Make some folders private, so only you can access them.
  c.. Lock your computer to prevent others from accessing it while you are
away.
  d.. Set up a screen saver password to automatically lock your computer
when the screen saver starts.
  e.. Securely transfer your files over the Web.
To set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders

  1.. Open Windows Explorer, and then locate the file or folder for which
you want to set special permissions.
  2.. Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the
Security tab.
  3.. Click Advanced, and then do one of the following: To Do this
        Set special permissions for an additional group or user a.. Click
Add.
        a.. In Name, type the name of the user or group, and then click OK.

        View or change special permissions for an existing group or user
Click the name of the group or user and then click Edit.
        Remove an existing group or user and its special permissions Click
the name of the group or user and then click Remove. If the Remove button is
unavailable, clear the Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply
to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here check
box, click Remove, and skip the next two steps.

  4.. In the Permissions box, select or clear the appropriate Allow or Deny
check box.
  5.. In Apply onto, select the folders or subfolders you would like these
permissions to be applied to.
  6.. To configure security so that the subfolders and files will not
inherit these permissions, clear the Apply these permissions to objects
and/or containers within this container only check box.
  7.. Click OK and then, in Advanced Security Settings for FolderName, click
OK.
 Caution

  a.. If you select the Replace permission entries on all child objects with
entries shown here that apply to child objects. Include these with entries
explicitly defined here check box, then all subfolders and files will have
all their permission entries reset to be identical with the parent object.
Once you have clicked Apply or OK, you cannot undo this operation by
clearing the check box.
 Important

  a.. If you are not joined to a domain and want to view the Security tab,
see To display the Security tab.
 Notes

  a.. To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to All Programs, point to
Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
  b.. The Everyone group no longer includes the Anonymous Logon permission.
  c.. If you select the Inherit from parent the permission entries that
apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here
check box, then this file or folder will inherit permission entries from the
parent object.
  d.. You can set permissions only on drives formatted to use NTFS.
  e.. If the check boxes under Permissions are shaded, the permissions are
inherited from the parent folder.
  f.. To change permissions, you must be the owner or have been granted
permission to do so by the owner.
  g.. Groups or users that have been granted Full Control for a folder can
delete files and subfolders within that folder, regardless of the
permissions protecting the files and subfolders.
For more information about permissions on other objects, see Permissions.

object manager for each type of object. The object types, their object
managers, and the tools you use to manage these objects are as follows:
