I don't think msn is necessarily a distraction, either - you can also use it to collaborate. Perhaps it would be better to try and sell the kids on the idea of "you use it responsibly, or I take it away"?

Thanks Phil, and the others for the responses. Yes it is a case of 'be sensible or lose it', the other alternative is to lock their machines into a cut down mode and use a password protected log on for 'leisure applications', but if as you say there's a web portal of MSN, I'm buggered.

Bloody Bill Gates again eh ?
