This trick will be helpful for
those who want to block
access to particular websites
on their system. Parents

from their younger ones. It
can also be used in schools
and colleges etc….
Well this trick is very simple
and it goes this way.
1. Open MyComputer
2. Browse C: (or your
Operating system drive)
3. Browse Windows –
>System32–>drivers–>etc
so the Location will be C:
\WINDOWS
\system32\drivers\etc
In the etc folder look for
the file hosts
4. Open this file hosts with
notepad.
5. Locate the line
127.0.0.1 localhost
6. To block
www.google.com for
example, just add this text
under
127.0.0.1 localhost:
127.0.0.1 www.google.com
127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com
7. Save the file.
In this way add any number
of sites you want, however
you will need to prefix it
with “127.0.0.1″.
Note: This blocks the
website from opening in any
browser whether it is
Mozilla Firefox or Internet
Explorer
