Angry User accounts

hi all

i am fed up with the kids installing programs from the net (and me having to spend hours getting rid of spyware) and using my e bay account to buy things so I have changed the e bay account password and opened an account on XP so that they do not touch my account anymore. My question is how can I set the privilidges on the account so that NOTHING can be installed or removed please?

JOHN

Modify your HOSTS file. This step will block access from your computer to most of the known offensive sites/servers.
Give them a Limited account.
Other preventive measures.

But THE MOST important thing is the systematic education of users.

All the Best!
