- Blocking a website from XP
- Posted by semi on November 13th, 2005
Hi,
I was wondering, is there a way to block access to a website from XP
operating system?
How about a website that automatically downloads updates?
Thanks

One method is to add the website to your hosts file and give
it an IP address of 127.0.0.1 (local host) which causes it to
go nowhere. The hosts file is typically in the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc folder for XP
