A friend of mine has a 9-year-old daughter, a computer, and internet access.
Apparently, the child got on the internet, and visited some 'objectionable'
websites (her mom didn't say which sites). Short of using 'net Nanny'-type
software, what can Mom do to limit the girl's access, without limiting her
own?

Invest in parental control software ("Net Nanny" or similar). One of the
best and most important things a parent can do.

thanks for the suggestion, Leonard... do you know the rest of the Latin for
your closing line (to err is human)?.....

Have her create a user account for her daughter and then use Parental
Controls in Internet Options.

Actually, I don't...at least, not in Latin.

But this reference is in Italian !!

From the English site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errare_...re_humanum_est

errare humanum est 'to err is human' From Seneca the Younger. The full
quote is errare humanum est perseverare diabolicum: 'to err is human; to
persist is of the Devil'.

Wait...I thought the rest of it goes "to forgive is divine."

Your friend (or you) should not allow a 9-year-old unsupervised access to
the internet, period.

thanx Bob, i'll pass this info on to her... when you say 'user account', you
are meaning a windows user account, right? (just checking... i was blond as a
baby, then my hair turned brown)...
