Is it possible to block internet access for limited user accounts through Windows XP Home without having to purchase special software?
Yes - use passwords and don't tell the users of those limited accounts what the passwords are. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Serenity123" wrote in message news:50082888-4732-4CE8-8253-8E966AD2C566@microsoft.com... > Is it possible to block internet access for limited user accounts through > Windows XP Home without having to purchase special software?
What exactly would I be putting passwords on? I have passwords on each account, but each account has internet access on it's own. I need to block access to the internet for 1 limited account but allow access to software on the computer. Can I block/remove access just for this one user but still allow use of software on the harddrive?

Dump that account/user name. Call your ISP and tell them what you want and don't want. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Serenity123" wrote in message news:1CC1854C-1DF2-48A7-9B5C-29269BCBF1C3@microsoft.com... > What exactly would I be putting passwords on?
