How do I restrict access to Internet Explorer so that only certain sites can be visited?

Internet Explorer can be configured to restrict access so that only a short list of approved sites can be accessed by anyone without a special password. Here's how to do it.

First, though, think about your audience. This can be a useful technique for a special-purpose computer in an office. For your kids, it is less effective because kids can find ways around such limitations. They might install an alternative web browser, disable Content Advisor through the Windows Registry, or boot the computer from a CD instead. And useful research for school often involves accessing many sites you haven't seen before. For young children, this approach may be useful, but for teenagers there's no substitute for supervision and education. Put their computer next to yours!
