    How-To Block a Website

    Do you want to block a specific website on your office computer? No problem,this tutorial will tell your computer to ignore any requests for that website.

    1)Find the HOSTS file from here.

    2)Open the HOSTS file with your favorite text editor.

    3)Add the website
    For example, if you want to block example.com then add this to the bottom of the file-
    Code:
    127.0.0.1     example.com
    4)Save the file

    Note-If you cannot delete the .txt extension, open a DOS (Start -> Run -> cmd) window and type
    Code:
    cd C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc [press Enter/Return] 
    rename hosts.txt hosts [press Enter/Return]
