Blocking a site in internet explorer..

[kev269]

Hi,

Is there a way to block a site from being accessed in Internet Explorer?

Thanks.

Internet Options, Security, Restricted Sites and then add the site.

sorry to maybe state the obvius, but have you restarted IE?

don't use it myself so never tried, other options would be software like NetNanny etc.

find your hosts file c:/windows/ on win 9x/Me

c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc on win xp

open the hosts file in notepad and find where thewres some ip addresses with domains next to them

and type in 127.0.0.1 www.google.com (http://www.thesiteyouwanttoblock.com)

if you wanted to block google just change www.google.com with the address of the site you want to block

save it note it will be saved as hosts.txt so rename the old hosts file hosts.bak and remove the .txt from hosts .txt and you shouldnt be able to access the site anymore.
