I gotta chuckle...my son, trying to cover his tracks, once did a global search on our computer for the word "sex" and put all those files into the trash can. Fortunately, he didn't empty it.

Just for grins, try searching file names on your computer with those letters and you'll see there's a bunch of systems files with that sequence of letters. Not to mention a bunch of Excel files I had for work that the file name ended in "se" and then was followed by the .xls suffix.

He's 20 now and I didn't put any limits on what he could do other than what AOL censored. I'd also do a random check of the history file (he now deletes that after everytime he uses our computer).

I have an 8 year old daughter, and I've restricted her search options through Google (not perfect, but effective) and locked out sites with Explorer's "Content Advisor" (also, not perfect, but still effective).

A determined person will find a way to see what they want to see.
