Answers: http://www.wikihow.com/Restrict-Web-Brow...
you can simply use the host file to block out websites, this is typically beyond most learner process of elimination.
navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
you will see a record called hosts, right click begin with notepad.
enter the address resembling this
127.0.0.1 www.thesiteYOUwantBlocked.com
save beside new entry and try to enlarge that page
Yes. In Windows itself.
You can easily and effectivily block access to a website by tallying it to your Windows HOSTS file.(Yes, Hosts is capitalised for some strange reason). Without any software.
1.Go to your HOSTS profile which is located at:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC for windows Vista and XP
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC for Windows 2k
C:\WINDOWS for Windows 98 and ME
2. Open HOSTS near Notepad.
The default Windows HOSTS looks approaching this:
______________________
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS directory used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP address to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual smudge. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host entitle.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at tiniest one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine cross denoted by a "#" symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.tip.com # x client host
#
127.0.0.1 localhost

3. Directly under the stripe that says 127.0.0.1 Localhost, you will want to type:
127.0.0.1 first name of the URL you want to block
For example to block the MySpace.com homepage (highly recommended!), simply type:
127.0.0.1 myspace.com
127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com
Other parts of MySpace could be blocked surrounded by a similar way:
127.0.0.1 survey.myspace.com
127.0.0.1 profile.myspace.com
etc etc etc...
You may need to attach sites with both beside and without the "www.". Test after blocking to craft sure you got it right.
You can put in as many sites as you option to block in this cult. I, myself, have over 12000 undesireable and insecure sites in my personal HOSTS directory!
4. Close Notepad and answer "Yes" when prompted.
5. Reboot your computer and attempt to access your now blocked website. You should see a Cannot find server or DNS Error adage: "The page cannot be displayed".
-----------------------------
Some people suggest that you affix a website that you wish to block by count it to Internet Explorer's Restricted Zone. This does NOT totally block a site. It will only RESTRICT a site from faultless actions such as using javascript, Active-X and Java etc.
Some ancestors suggest that your add a website to the Internet Explorer 'Privacy' settings. This does not block a site. It solitary stops that site from using cookies.
My dear,
you can definitely do that unbelievably easily. To block websites surrounded by internet explorer go to tools<< option. In options run to "privacy" tab. There you will find a button <<Sites>>. Press the button <<sites>> and a dialog box opens. You append the website address you want and set it to block or allow. Apply and Save the settings and you are done with that.
In firefox you can simply download the part given below and install it. It's safe and it's an authorized part of firefox. And you can block the sites you want in firefox.
