Answer 1

Depending on which operating system you are using depends on how easy it is for you. MSXP allows for multiple profiles on the system - a great idea with children in the house of all ages - including spouses :)

I found the easiest way for the little ones to access their own sites and programs was to set up icons on the desktop.  Shortcuts to the sites that they want.  Now - that being said I went a step further.

Using frontpage I set up a very simple web page using pictures from sites - or characters to indicate which program or site was what.  Saving this web site to the local computer works the same way as if it were online.  You can then use it as the desktop for your childs profile.  You can have movies saved linked to this page - local games - or web sites.  Works great. Just right click on the desktop and choose 'active desktop'.  Hope this helps!
