how can i stop my girlfriends son from downloading porn

Filter out certain keywords is one way. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=33325

You could add jpg, wmv, avi, mpeg & mpg.

password protection
 

can i password protect my settings

Not within LW itself. There are means but I'm not in the know.

I'm aware of a utility which can record LW's actions & history & block it. But totally blocking the app is probably not what you want.

I'm not sure whether only having the application in the admin account will work. Locking the user preferences folder of this person will probably work. Then changes couldn't be made to the preferences without the password. But since I'm not a windows user per se I'm not sure how to do that on a windows machine.

By the way please press the Reply button & NOT the new thread button.

thanks this the first time i have been on this site and iam just getting use to it

Norton Internet Security (including Norton Anti-Virus) has a very effective Parental Control option that is also regularly up-dated...

As far as Gnutella Network 'clients' (programs) are concerned, BearShare definitely has a Parental Control feature as standard...
But, don't forget to disable it for your own searches as you may suffer from excessive filtering of some file names.
