Hi! Can someone tell me if I can block porn with the
xp? If not, can I put a password on the computer so the
kids can't get in unless I'm there? I haven't much of an
idea what I'm doing. Thanks
 
You can setup security features which will block some but not all porn. But
should help with some. Go to Control Panel->Internet Options->Content
Tab->Content Advisor "Enable button" and you can adjust settings from there.
However given the amount of porn that is easily and innocently accessed you
probably want to look at third party software that can give you a lot more
control over what is displayed.

Yes you can set up a password that will only enable the person with the
password access to the Desktop. From and administrator log on go to Control
Panel->User Accounts. Windows XP's password protection is quite secure.
Passwords can always be hacked but it requires special software to do so.
Remember that if you create passwords you can end up locking your self out
so make sure you have them written down and also create the password floppy.
For more information go to Help and Support->and enter' password protect
accounts 'in the search box. --
