I am constantly having to reset things. had to do system restore the other day.

aaaauuuuggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Depending on your OS you can severely limit the account that your kids use. In XP you can use gpedit and file permissions to lock down their accounts. Be very careful with this. You can REALLY screw up your computer if you do it wrong.
