Wendy,
There are some Internet Service Providers out there that you can subscribe to for a minimal fee that filter everything for you. That way, the filtering is not done on the computer, but at the ISP level. I could look into that if that seems a better alternative to filtering software. Added benefit, as Shirley says, it doesn't mess up other settings on your computer.

Subject: [Vantage] (off topic) misbehaving on the Internet
I have an interesting question that some of you may have had to deal with at home. What software or other ways have you used to prevent your "youngsters" from accessing inappropriate sights on the Internet? The owner of the company that I work for had me stop by her house yesterday to review the sites that her son visits. The only preventative measures I thought of was to install some sort of software that prevents installation/removal of any software/programs and then use the "content" feature of Internet Explorer. How has anyone else dealt with this and what 3rd party software did you use? The computer that she has at home has Windows ME on it. I'm not too familiar with this OS yet. Is there a feature in ME that would work to prevent this instead of other software?
Thanks!
