Greetings:

At my office, our versions of IE are set so that access to certain
options is locked out.

How can I do something similar on the home computer used by my
children?

Thanx!

Your office computers are on a domain, which isn't something you're going to
do at home. The way you handle your home computer depends on whether it is
XP Home or Pro, but I'm going to guess Home. If you have Pro, you can set
Group Policies with Start>Run>gpedit.msc but you can also use the Shared
Computer Toolkit which may be easier.

Use either MVP Doug Knox's Security Console or the MS Shared Computer
Toolkit:
