In private browsing

Is there a way to turn in private browsing off without others in house
turning it back on?

Hi,
Which version of Windows (XP Home, XP Media Center, Vista Basic, Vista
Ultimate, etc)
Does each user have his/her own user account?
Are these accounts Standard Users- not Admin accounts?
Is your account the admin account?
If you go to Start> Run and type in GPEDIT.MSC does policy Editor open?

Thank you Don. Here is the answers to your questions.

If everyone is using one user account, anyone will be able to change
settings. Since Group Policy Editor is not available in Vista Home Basic,
your options are really limited.

If you're trying to prevent other users (children?) from deleting history or
visiting undesirable sites, you should setup a user account for each user.
You can then use:
* Vista's Parental Controls... Internet Options> Content> Parental Controls.
* Windows Steady State

* Windows Live Family Safety

Or other software. See recent reviews at

No it doesn't.
