First and foremost, thanks for your help. I may have offended you and I am
sorry, but the quote at the end of your post from "RAH" about having peace or
freedom triggered a raw nerve. Please remember the Strategic Air Command
quote about freedom. Thanks to your links to Microsoft solutions, I was
able to solve my problem, but I remain convinced the Microsoft needs a
Childrens User Option so that John Doe as a parent and administrator can
select only those programs that he/she wants their children/grandchildren to
execute without going to the solutions provided at this time. It must me
simple and openly apparent for John Q Public.... THANKS, AGAIN
