I want to set up a couple limited user accounts for my children. I want to
make it that they can NOT access the internet from their accounts. Is this
possible? And if so, I need idiot proof instructions on how to limit the
access to programs as well.
Simple to some but got me confused....thanx in advance.

Do you have XP-Home or XP-Pro?
 
My reply is mixed with your words:

More info is needed here but some general stuff >>>
Assuming you use high-speed internet connection (LAN/DSL/Cable) . Then when
you are logged on with Admin account , disable the connection
Control Panel -> Network connections and right click on all high-speed
connections -> Disable
This way you disable the hardware . If your children are using the PC with
limited accounts , they cannot enable them again

When you log on back to your admin , enable them again and don't forget to
disable them again if the children are using it ;)
You can even create shortcuts on yoru desktop for quicker access

And if so, I need idiot proof instructions on how to limit the
access to programs as well.

Please , visit my web-site
http://pandaman.my.contact.bg

and read "Protect your PC" and "Admin/Parental control" sections

You can also search for NetNanny software in Google (www.google.com)
or MSN's parental control stuff for more advanced control. After you read
all pages , do what described and talk to your childer and establish riles
for using the internet and so on ... :-)
