Is there any Parental control through windows?

I suppose you could prevent certain websites being accessed by directing them at your computer via the hosts file:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

You'll see what you do when you open it pretty much- basically just type in the full URL of the site and stick 127.0.0.1 after it and it will fail to open

EDIT: Just thinking about it, you would be better copying one of the example lines and then editing it to ensure that you get the spacing right. Remember to take the comment mark off the front though :cool:

No, but I've used this one for a while:

It's pretty good, not too many false positive blocks, and best of all it's free!
