Nope, XP won't stop teenage boys from downloading anything.

WinXP contains no true parental controls, as such, but some tools
do exist to help.

For some requirements, you may find it easier to invest in a
3rd-party solution, such as NetNanny or CyberPatrol.

You need to be aware, however, that *NO* technical or software
solution is fool-proof, and _none_ can ever adequately take the place
of live parental supervision.

Try getting the parents of said "teenage boys" to take
responsibility for supervising the boys actions. That's
the best way.

Is it only me who finds that last sentence something of a hoot?
