Restrict Windows and Web Access for Kids with KidsMenu - 1 views

    "My oldest son likes games and Web surfing, but we don't want to give him full access to our PC, or to the entire Internet.

For most of us, the default Windows shell is Explorer, which includes the Start Menu, desktop icons, System Tray, etc."
