Sure, I know IE has content control, but if you turn it on it will disable access to many websites you would need to visit - for us it blocks access to our school system's student assignment and grading webpage and my bank's online banking page. Even with content control, there is no way to control what they view via browser, unless you all use the same Windows user account; which defeats the purpose of having Admin versus Limited accounts altogether. And Yahoo is tough enough to get help from, and impossible to submit suggestions for changes or improvements. Image search results are still wide open territory - a gold mine for a teenager looking for pictures you'd rather not have them looking at.
