XP SP3

XP SP3... is it safe?

Also, is there a way to cause auto-logoff say after 1 hour of inactivity? (Problem with the autistic grandson getting on YouTube and Ebay when he's visiting.)

Control Panel and Select Power Options.

Also, go into the users and have a user account just for your grandson with restricted access.

Open a free account with opendns.org; then you can filter domains.

Or go to

and download the Astaro Security Gateway. Put that on a scrap PC and you can do the same thing locally.

Astaro is external to your PC, so there's nothing grandson can do to the PC to get him those websites (yes, you can filter for proxies and so forth). OpenDNS is not even onsite. All you have to do is use a really good password.
