What I want to do is disable internet browsing.

And if you can share more tips on the topic, I also want to make one or two sites available.

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

here is a guide...

1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2] Find the file named "HOSTS"
3] Open it in notepad
4] Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.sitenameyouwantblocked.com, and that site will no longer be accessible.
5] Repeat step 4 if you want to block another domain

Example:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.google.com
127.0.0.3 www.yahoo.com

and so on and so forth

I love Espiya.net. My grandma loves it too!

That's the file!

One more thing, what if I want to block all sites? Do asterisks/wildcards apply here? like www.l*.com or simply www.*.* or *. And also, is it possible to have exceptions something life block all except one or two websites?
