How can I prevent Windows 7 users from deleting Firefox history?

I wish to prevent my daughter from deleting her Firefox history so that I can help her to concentrate on doing homework rather than watching videos or playing games, (and then deleting the history when she hears me coming into the room - she's fast!) Our Windows 7 desktop computer has separate user accounts for each family member, (without admin rights) and ideally I would like to be able to check her Firefox history periodically from my own account but I will settle from being able to check it with her when she is logged into her own account. Is it possible to prevent her from deleting it?

Thanks.

Unless you lock many preferences in the profile folder, this can be tough. There are alternative solutions, like setting up a proxy in the operating system and forcing all traffic through the proxy only you can view the history in.

I the parental controls there are also web filtering features that you can customize: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/10524/how-to-use-parental-controls-in-wind...
