I'm using Pro version and I wanted to know if it's
possible to deny my daughter's "Limited" account from
accessing the Internet. I have explicitly denied her
account access to all web browsers. However, on some of
her games there is an option to either "Play Online"
or "Get Updates" etc...
When she clicks on one of those buttons, IE opens up and
she has access to the Internet. Is it possible deny even
games from accessing the Internet? Thanks for your time.
 
You might try to add the URL's of those sites in IE Security/Restricted
Zones or to edit the "hosts" file. Well, IE will still open but w/ a "File
not found" message (which you can change w/ a message of your choice...
"Gotcha!!!" or whatever :). A blank home page, disabled autocomplete etc
might make it a little bit more difficult to access the Internet. Also, you
might try to lock the Internet access in your Firewall while you are not at
the computer etc.

Download the free version of Zone Alarm www.zonelabs.com
Use your admin account to set her account to admin, then set
it on her account to deny all Internet access using Zone
Alarm. Then reset her account as limited and she won't be
able to change those settings.
