    I (life having gone full circle) have used this at home to block my mum's access to the australian Neighbours sites.

    That's what she gets for messing with me :)

    Parents should remember - it is the kids that will be picking the nursing home .....:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Poor people spend then save what's left.

    If you haven't already, one thing I would recommend is setting up each of your kids their own account on the PC. Set them up as restricted users. They will be able to use the PC but it will restrict what they can do on the machine such as messing around with system files. Just make sure they don't know the password to any of the administrator accounts.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    to find out the sites they visit, just go through their history by pressing CTRL+ H in the internet browser and get the sites from there and block them

    (thats if they haven't deleted their history!)

    mine already have my fate decided, they're going to lock me in a cupboard when I become crotchety & unmanageable

    I told them that's fine with me, as long as I can take 2 pcs, a triple monitor setup & a constant supply of red wine I'll be fine with it :D

    just as long as they don't block my favourite sites! ;)
