    My sister has a habit of downloading junk and messing up the PC. How would I password protect all downloads or completely block downloads?

    Look into parental controls for IE / Firefox.

    I went to the parental controls for IE8 but it just sends me to parental controls for Windows and the only options thay have are time limits, games, and specific programs.
