How 'bout good ol' "consequences"? You go on the internet and.....

Try the IE proxy setting. I know Firefox uses IE's internet settings.
Maybe other things do to. It's worth a try.

These days, IE is but one of many programs that use the internet, like
iTunes & AIM. Also, the shortcuts may be gone but the exe files remain. I
had thought about renaming or relocating the exe files. Boy, I was sure
hoping for a setting!

Yes, I meant User Account. If you have an account for the kids, you
could login as them and remove all shortcuts to IE. There's probably a
more elegant way (like a setting), but not one that I can think of right
away. Another idea would be to go into (with their account) IE > Tools >
Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > and check off the box for
Proxy Server, and put in a bogus IP address like 10.10.10.10
Once you've restarted IE you won't get to the internet with that profile.

Hi John,

When you say "profile" do you mean a User Account? If so, I already have
that for the kids. How do I totally block access to the internet in that
limited User Accout.

Or do you mean a Hardware profile? If so, can that be controlled by
User?

Restrict in what way? To totally block access to the interent? Why
not create another profile on that PC, for the kids?

Hi, is there a way to restrict internet (DSL) access for one User
Account
only (do I have kids, or what)?

Thanks, Lar
