I recently got a laptop for my girlfriend and her kids. she want me to
configure it to not let the kids download anything. I then gave it to my
computer whiz brother but he couldn't get it to work. He said something like
"I tried to do it in MMC but it restricted even her (My girlfriend's) access.
Is there anything i can use or do myself to be able to do that.

For some requirements, you may find it easier to invest in a
3rd-party solution, such as NetNanny or CyberPatrol.
You need to be aware, however, that *NO* technical or software
solution is fool-proof, and _none_ can ever adequately take the place of
live adult supervision. If your friend cannot trust her children to
safely/properly use the computer without supervision, she may have to
consider limiting their access to it.
