PCs now come loaded with Windows XP. If you get a new computer at some point (or your current one can support it), Windows XP is also set up so that each person has an account, so there's privacy.

But Babble is on my favorites list as is several other things that are none of his business - internet research, etc. In other words, I really don't want him to have easy access to my favorites list or even my history. He's not a bad kid, and he won't deliberately go somewhere he's been told not to go, but I see no reason to make it easier for him to stumble across this place.
