My son like to visit websites I do not agree with...I have asked him NOT to clear the internet history. He now just sets it to "not remember history" which allows him to surf whatever he wants when we are not around.

Surely there is a way on the master account to block him from clearing his history but so far I have found no way to do it.

Any suggestions?

Not an easy problem to solve, although similar questions are asked repeatedly.

  • Remember your son probably has access to the internet elsewhere anyway.
  • You are also going to need to stop your son making other changes to the computer, such as simply installing or using an alternative browser.
  • Unless you are very careful any changes you make will possibly be circumvented by a savvy computer user.
