I just found this interesting help in the internet, I just thought this is worth sharing especially for those people with computers that do not have a Parental Control application.
Probably, this is useful on schools' or offices' computers to restrict the users on some websites, or you can just use this to play franks on your friend.
ok, here it goes... for example, you want to block www.msn.com
Go to folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
for windows XP, right click on file hosts and open with notepad
for windows vista, just double click on the file, and choose notepad to open it.
Now, in the file under the line 127.0.0.1 localhost add another line such as 127.0.0.2 www.msn.com.
ok, click on File then Save.
That will be it, you can try if that website will load (it should not). To unblock the website again, just delete the line. Just do the opposite.
Enjoy.
