Bad mistake to let her son set up the PC user accounts!
Here's what she can to to take back control of the PC:
* Make sure the file system is NTFS.
* Log on as the main ADMINISTRATOR and change the password to something her son doesn't know. Although I suspect her son has password protected this Admin account so she may be locked out of it!
* If she succeeds to log on as Administrator then go to User Accounts and change the son to Limited User and her account to Computer Administrator and also password protect her user account.
* If her user account is secured by password the son should not be able to log on and view her Internet History. But to prevent him from accessing Internet Options in both his and her user accounts she can download this Windows XP Security Console from Doug Knox.

Review the second link and you will see that she can set all kinds of restriction to prevent access to the control Panel, Internet Options and much more.
Good luck...
Her son may still have a few tricks up his sleeves!![]()
My friend allowed her 14-year-old son to set up all the accounts on her computer. He made himself the administrator, and her and her daughter limited users.
If she changes her account type to administrator and her son's to limited, will that alone accomplish the following:
--Prevent him from accessing her internet history and settings.
--Allow her to access his, if she feels a need to.
