Limited Administrator Rights Windows 7

Looking at getting my son a new laptop for Christmas so he doesn't have to use my wife's when he needs to do schoolwork/surf, etc.


The old laptop is Vista, this one will be Windows 7 (hooray), but I want him to have as much access as possible, but limit his access in some ways.


I want to limit some of the sites he can visit using parental controls, but at the same time leave him free to install games, utilities, etc. I don't want him visting adult, warez, MP3 sites, etc.


I know at some jobs I work at, they implement a Local Security Policy that leave my access open except for some things (like editing screen saver for example).


Is this possible in a Windows 7 Home Premium machine without a domain server on the network? I know I could restrict some sites at the router, but that doesn't help if he takes the computer to a friend's house.


What are some other solutions for this very real problem?
