bar on internet access

Why not just setup a password to get on the machine and not tell the son?

Subject: bar on internet access

I have a photographer friend who has a son who does as he likes. He uses 
fathers machine when he is not around: he does not turn the machine off.
I know its his fault, but he wants to stop access to the net im M$ XP 
without logging out. There is no way that I know of that you can stop 
usage of Firefox or IE if the machine is idle and online (cable).

Or is there?

I'm thinking of a folder that is locked with the browsers inside that 
can only be accessed via a password or something once left without use 
for say 15min.
