How to Block All Websites Except One
You might want to block websites for school filtering, parental controls or any number of reasons. Web browsers have different built-in controls for website filtering, and security software such as Norton or McAfee have their own options. Blocking can be achieved in many different ways, but Windows Vista offers the most straightforward method for blocking all websites except one using its User Controls feature.

I tried to follow this procedure. I have been using my default admin account for years on this machine. The system prompted me to create a Computer Admin account and then allowed me to set up a limited account. Now my default admin account has disappeared. It has taken many things I need with it, including my Photoshop actions and access to some software and all of my saved passwords in FireFox and IE. HELP! This is the single worst advice I have ever followed. I have tried a system restore to no avail. Suggestions on how to get my default admin user back would be much appreciated. That user was passworded and the ones currently appearing are not and I don't really even get how, with any security features at all, it would be possible to set up a new admin account and delete the old one, thus disabling password access on a computer.
