How to block a website without using any software ??

A simple way to block access to websites without using any software

Go to My Computer >> C: >> Windows >> System 32 >> drivers >> etc






Copy the file name hosts to some other location








Open the copied file with notepad







It will open in notepad and show a list of hosts 127.0.0.1 etc ...


Type the address of the website to be blocked like this (Eg: 127.0.0.2 www.google.com etc ..)







Save it. Replace the original file with the saved file. Continue if asked to provide adrministrator rights.




Restart the browser and the changes would have come to effect. The browser just fails to load the page without creating additional dialogs.
