restricting a web site

[frank bruno]

I am trying to restrict access to a specific web site. I have seen the
"restricted zones" feature and the content advisor. when i use the
content advisor, that doesnt help because every site you go to , you
need to put in the content advisor password. (It defaults to no sites
are available). All i want to do is restrict one site. How do I do
this. Thanks

You can edit your hosts file.

1. Use Windows Explorer to find the file called "hosts" (no
extension, just the single word, 'hosts').

2. Use Notepad to edit this file.

When you open the file in Notepad, you should see something like this:

127.0.0.0 localhost

2. Using the same format, add a line as follows:

127.0.0.1 "banned-website.com"

where "banned-website.,com" is replaced by the actual name of the
Website you want to ban.

Note that you may need to add two entries, one being
"banned-website.com", and the other being, "www.banned-website.com".

thanks very much for your help. there is also an option in content
advisor that allows me to do this:"users can see sites that have no
rating".
