if all you want is something like IE has, then use Firefox and learn
how to set it up...start here:

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/parental+controls

the IE stuff is EASY to work around (any horny 13 year old boy and
prove THAT to you)....the folks trying to help you here were trying to
lead you to a REAL block...

Firefox has more, and better controls than does IE...simply..

Umm,, maybe I am not reading this right but if the children ( bless `em )
are logged into their own account on the box surely you can just open
firefox configured up to only allow certain sites?

so adults have their own account with their own settings.

You can then if needed lock down the kids account to not allow them to alter
any of the config files and not be able to execute any binaries you do not
want them to.

Why has no-one thought of this before it would just be like a Cyber Cafe
they could call it something like um... kiosk Oh.
