Restrict IE content for specific accounts

I would like to restrict for several (that are not admnistrative) accounts of my PC the ability to access Internet sites with IE other than the ones I will specify. I tried logging to those accounts but IE says that I can only do this from an administrative account.

I looked at Windows® XP Security Console (as suggested at https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21680248/internet-explorer.html) but when I run it I cannot see anything that will allow me to limit those settings.

I didn't check netnanny as I wasn't looking for a solution of 40$ per PC. I just thought of maybe a windows registry solution. But netnanny (I asked today their support service) should work. Fatal exception's solution instead is not completely safe, so I wouldn't consider it as a viable one.
Not safe?
Why you never posted that you still need help and this is not helping?
Noone is a mindreader and noone will post you new suggestions if you  ignore the old ones. :)
I didn-t post as I took for granted KCTS's comment "No you cannot really do this with IE".

As for Fatal"s, I said it is not safe as you said that it is not full prrof. So, it is not safe for the lab.
Note..  Nothing is fullproof, ever!  But there are levels of safety..  the one I suggested has a high level of safety, as only those users that understand DNS could circumvent it,..  Tell you what..  ask a basic user what DNS does and how it works and I think you will just find a vacant face stare back at you..  They have no idea that you can use an IPAddress to get to a website..  JMHO though...
I didn't even try to apply your suggestion as you said that it was not full proof. But I'm going to leave Venabili decide about it. Anyway, I appreciated you spending your time to try to help me.
Thanks, s_f..  I really think that my solution will work nicely for you...  but again, it is just MHO...
Thanks, C101
