Prevent IE access - possible?

Here's the problem.

Took my 13 year old's computer away from him (bad grades).

My office is off the living room so he can't get to my 2 machines.

However my 18 year old has a laptop. (XP)

You see the problem that arises from a portability standpoint.

Sneaky little devil.

Short of pulling the access point plug or putting an admin password on the laptop is there any setting my 18 year old can change to disable internet access.

If he does need to do school work I have no problems with the use of the laptop by him BTW.

give him a limited user account

set a local security policy restricting internet explorer access.

I'd guess right now he has a member of full admin group.

If he's admin he can UNdo any change you do

Yeah, knowing him he'd lock me out.

I'll set up an account.

Thanks,
