run the net connection through a proxy and check the logs is the easiest way, everything and anything running on the pc itself can be worked around

you would basically run the computers which access the internet through another computer specifically setup to act as a firewall / filtering system for these computers which will log all information going through it.
This way you can set rules to limit connectivity or services and log all internet activity. -- This is not 100% secure however its reasonably effective

Any filtering or log software that is dependent upon running on the system being filtered is very easy to get around

The Australia government for example spent $84 million dollars developing software for this purpose which was cracked within 30 minutes of going live

Its knowledge that will achieve what you wish to do, however your chances of successfully achieving that with Windows on its own and not running though a proxy server is slim as in reality it can not be locked down without reducing functionality.

With OSX or Linux you have a pretty good chance if you understand it

Web proxy

Proxies that focus on WWW traffic are called web proxies. Many web proxies attempt to block offensive web content. Other web proxies reformat web pages for a specific purpose or audience (e.g. cell phones and PDAs or persons with disabilities)

Many organizations — including schools, corporations, and countries — use proxy servers to enforce acceptable network use policies (see content-control software) or to provide security, anti-malware and/or caching services. A traditional web proxy is not transparent to the client application, which must be configured to use the proxy (manually or with a configuration script). In some cases, where alternative means of connection to the Internet are available (e.g. a SOCKS server or NAT connection), the user may be able to avoid policy control by simply resetting the client configuration and bypassing the proxy. Furthermore administration of browser configuration can be a burden for network administrators.

Access control: Some proxy servers implement a logon requirement. In large organizations, authorized users must log on to gain access to the WWW. The organization can thus track usage to individuals.

I would configure and define user groups and then restrict them using the registry as shown in the methods below

http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...1-5193303.html
http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/969/

You can also block website by configuring the hosts file such as the method shown below and then restrict any modification by users other than the Admin

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

for example an entry in the hosts file such as 127.0.0.1 passionford.com would block access to passionford

Using any application to restrict another application is pointless as it clearly shows what you have to attack to work around it
