website block by hosts (without downloading any programs)


How Can I Edit The Windows Hosts File?
Mark wrote an article explaining how to block websites via the Hosts file, which covers almost everything you need to know: Create your own Internet Filter with the Windows Hosts file.

I will briefly describe how to edit the file in Windows 7.

Open Notepad as Administrator. For this go to > Start > All Programs > Accessories, right-click > Notepad and select > Run as administrator. When asked whether you > (...) want to allow the following program to make changes to the computer, select > Yes.
From within Notepad go to > File > Open and browse to the Hosts file, which is located under > C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. The folder will be empty as it's only showing *.txt files. In the bottom right of the folder click the drop-down menu and select > All Files.


The Windows HOSTS file allows you to block websites very easily and for free
Thanks for watching
