this is a pay option but i beleive there is a option on the internet exlprer that u can specify with passwrd protection on which sites to go.

I believe you are talking about IE's Content advisor. In Internet Options, click on the "Content" tab. Click "Enable" then you will be given options to setup and you will have to specify a password. It's not the best option out there, but it is free.
Here's another free option called "Parental Filtr"

I agree with answer #2 from bmedlock. Open IE, goto Help and choose Contents and Index. The help iformation provided by Microsoft is fairly robust for the use of Content Advisor. You can also install SP2 and use the Windows Firewall in the security center (which is free).
