Is it possible to set up restrictions about which homepages it's possible to
visit in the xp home edition (running sp2) - or a region like .net ?

If you know hte site you want to block, go to the
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc folder and open the file "hosts" with Notepad.

You will see
127.0.0.1 localhost

and perhaps a few more entries.

On a new line type:

127.0.0.1 www.bannedsite.com

where www.bannedsite.com is the name of the site to ban. Repeat adding
entries on new lines to add more sites. Save and reboot and now those sites
are blocked.

Thanks for the advice!

Unfortunally i'm looking for the 'opposite' solution i.e. to bann all sites
and only allow exceptions.
