Default How do I limit internet access on a limited account on Windows XP Home Edition?

I want to basically make sure that there are certain websites that whoever is using the limited account on my computer will not be able to access. Namely pornographic ones. Is there a built in tool for Windows I can just activate? please help. And if it is a program I can download, could you try and make it a freeware. Thanks in advance people.

You can enable content advisor. Open IE, click tools at the top, internet options, click content, enable. It uses the administrator password. It applies to every user. There are many programs you can download, but this will probably do the trick for now.

There are very few if any at all free alternatives to parental control that I know of but here's one i found while searching:

WebAllow 1.21
|MG| Free Download - WebAllow 1.21

alternatively you can pay for the software using something like netnanny cant say iv ever used any such software so no idea which is best etc.
