I run a POS system on my computer for work. This system requires the use of
the internet. Im having a big problem with employees using the internet for
personal use. How do I set the user account so it will use the web site for
the POS system and this web site only. And if i can limit all use on user
acounts exept addmistrator acounts that would be geat as well. Please I need
help

It would be easiest to do this if you had a proxy server/ISA that controlled
Internet access.
That said, if you don't, mention whether you're using XP Home or Pro - that
makes a huge difference.
 
All of the computers run on windows xp home and I have now idea what a proxy
server is. is there a phone number i can call to talk to a person?

Then you can't use group policy, alas.

Perhaps you need to treat this computer as a 'kiosk' machine -

....or better yet,

Make sure your users do NOT have admin rights.

What person did you have in mind?

This is not a direct line to MS support - it's a peer newsgroup. If you type
questions in here, people will probably type answers in reply. But these
people are just regular folks who are volunteering their time to try and
help others....so, unless you want to pay someone (including MS) for
consulting/support services, stick to the group. Be patient and polite and
you are sure to get help.
 
ok well thank you for your help
