Hi Chris, Are you sure? This machine is running XP and IE has parental controls. I haven't even upgraded to IE 7.

You can also set the time period such as 6pm to 7pm for each evening which I have set for my kids. Windows will automatically log off after the period of time has expired. Yes it annoys the children but too much computer and internet gaming can have an effect on a young child. I have only tried this feature in Vista so I don't know if it works the same in XP. You can also set the rating of the content such as games in which they are allowed to play. ----- Original Message ----- From: Amro Bilal To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2008 9:46 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Parental control programs Now why didn't I think of that. I've just visited the Windows knowledge pages and you're right, IE seams to offer a good level of protection for miners. I suppose I never had to worry about this in the past so it never occurred to me that Windows has this feature built in. Seams like a really basic question what I asked! Thanks Saqib.

And yeah! it has to be an accessible program too! I don't mind paying if I can find something that can do the job. Thanks in anticipation, Amro No virus found in this incoming message.
