How to Set a Password for Internet Explorer 7.0
Internet Explorer 7.0 is an Internet browser designed and marketed by Microsoft that allows users to surf the Web, stream video and music and launch online applications. To limit someone's access to certain types of websites, or to prevent another user from changing your settings within Internet Explorer, the program comes with a built-in feature that allows you to set a security password. Once the password is set, no one else will have access to the privacy and content settings except for you.
