Content Advisor settings for each user account?

I have 4 user accounts: me, wife, 2 young kids. I want to use the IE7
Content Advisor to control the webpages and sites the kids will be restricted
to. They are young enough not to be able to defeat the Advisor but can type
enough to get into trouble.
Question: Can I enable Content Advisor just for the kids user accounts?
When I enable it now logged in as one of them and log off to log on as
myself, the Content Advisor is also enabled under my user account. I am
hoping the Advisor can be "inidividualized" for each user account just as the
"favorites" are different for each user. My goal would be to have it enabled
when either kid logs on, but disabled when me or wife log on (with passwords,
of course).
Thanks in advance for any help!

Unfortunately, Content Advisor will apply to all users of the computer. If
you're looking to restrict your kids' internet activity, you're only option may
be some type of parental control software. Microsoft provides this program for
XP.

If you haven't done so already, you might want to post this question to the
Internet Explorer newsgroup.

I was afraid of that. One thing I do like about Content Advisor is the
ability to select only certain sites or pages. At this stage I don't want
filtering; access to only certain sites is the appropriate goal for these
kids at this time.
Thanks for the response........I just repeated the question at the IE
discussion site.
