How to monitor teenager's internet activity?
I have a teenage who is doing internet visits a lot. Is there any way I can monitor here internet activity? For example. to keep her from deleting the history items in IE6? Her PC is Windows 2000. She does need the write access to do her homework during school days - right now she is just chating and surfing. Her PC connect to the wireless route, which connect to the cable modem. My machine is also Windows 2000 Pro. Can I set a LAN network so I can record all her activity in my machine? If this a FAQ, sorry to ask again. Would appreciate if you can provide a site for the FAQ. Thanks, Yi |

"Yi Jin" wrote in message ... I have a teenage who is doing internet visits a lot. Is there any way I can monitor here internet activity? For example. to keep her from deleting the history items in IE6? You need to make the effort to know what she is doing while she is doing it. I have three kids, 16, 14 and 11.5. They have their own computer but it is in my office where my computer is, and within sightline of the living room. They do have privileges to use the computer when we're not home but also know that they'll lose it in a flash (and have lost it) if we feel there is reason to revoke computer privileges. The overriding rule in the house is that I must be able to glance at the screen at any time to see what is going on. They are not allowed to shrink a window when I enter the room or glance over. Yes, their conversations are private, but a quick glance at the screen can give me a very good idea of what is going on. One child broke the rules once. He has not since because he learned the lesson fast. There's no substitute for parental supervision, no matter how great your own computer is and what programs you install. Marijke, in Montreal |

How to monitor teenager's internet activity?
In our house, the computer with internet access that the kids use is
in the kitchen/family room area (we have a built in desk in the kitchen and the entire area is open concept). So, it would be very difficult for a kid to be up to much without being caught, since with 2 adults and three kids in the house, plus the endless parade of friends, neighbours, relatives - you are almost never alone in the kitchen and everyone sees what you are doing (the screen actually faces the hall, so everyone coming in or out can see what site you are on)! Works for us. Nothing destroys secrecy like having to be out in the open. Mary G. |

How to monitor teenager's internet activity?
If you are using a recent browser version like Internet Explorer
or Netscape, you can actually view the sites that have been visited. In Internet Explorer it is under the tab/window called HISTORY. If you click on that, a list of the visited websites will appear. It usually shows the activity over the past few days as well. Most of the time you'll find URLs like (I made these up), - http://www.googleteens.com - http://www.teenchatsite.com - http://www.hometownnewsletter.com but if your kid has been to any sites, they sometimes appear as, - BIG NAUGHTY SITE *** HOT HOT - LOVE IS A THREE LETTER WORD NAUGHTY SITE - http://www.reallynaughtysite.com You can actually monitor your child's activity without your child even knowing that you are doing it. It's great. However, the drawback is that if the child is aware of their HISTORY, it is also very easy for them to delete the sites from it as well. So, it is not a foolproof method, but it does work. good luck! SB (Yi Jin) wrote in message ... I have a teenage who is doing internet visits a lot.
