MSN Messenger and the WinXP firewall

Guest

Does anyone know if it is possible to block access to any of the MSN
messenger sites etc through the windows firewall, or do I have to purchase
another piece of software to do this. I have nothing against Messenger I use
it myself, but my kids have turned into zombies because of it.

Help please

You could disable access to the MSN Messenger in the Control Panel >
Add and remove Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults. If running
the Professional Edition of Windows XP you could also disable
Messenger via GPEDIT.MSC.
