Windows 7: [Help] need to block a website in windows 7

Hello Brothers and sisters,,

Hope you are having a great time,,

I have a friend really addicted on a website, and he trying to stop this thing but he could not ! O_o

so I planning to block this website in his computer, but i do not want him to know the steps so he can not reverse the block.

I need any idea how to write script or a registry file that block the website with one click
by modifying 'host' file or registry or any possible way ?

thank you in advance & and sorry for my poor language !

What browser is he using?

IE & Firefox

It should worke in any browser.

Put in the hosts file.

Here's an example of the format. The "localhost" entry should already be there. Just add a new line using 127.0.0.1 for the address of each site you add to the list. You can open the hosts file with NotePad to edit it. Use "Run as Administrator" on NotePad. When you save it, save it as different name like "hosts.new" and use ANSI as the file type. Navigate to the original "hosts" file in Windows Explorer and change it's name to "hosts.bak". Change the new hosts file name to "hosts" with no file type. Respond to the warning with OK.

The hosts file is located at:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

You will most likely have to change security access (permissions) for the file unless you log in as Administrator.

actually i know this method, but maybe you did not understand me.
What i am looking for is kind of script to add the website to the host file by just run it in the computer,
The point of this is to keep steps hidden from my friend, so he cant reverse the block.

Thank you..

Do you have access to your Router? If so, navigate to the Default Gateway (usually 192.168.1.1), login, then locate and utilize a feature that blocks websites. Ensure that you secure your Router with a unguessable password.

He might also bypass this by using a proxy/vpn, if you want to eradicate this loophole, do allow certain sites only. Do this only when needed.

Why cant you edit the Hosts file, it's direct and cant be got around. Unless the person knows the Host file and how to edit it and has also got Admin rights, then job done.

OK I give in here is one with examples.

code :
@echo off
set hostspath=%windir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
echo 62.116.159.4 ns1.intranet.de >> %hostspath%
echo 217.160.113.37 ns2.intranet.de >> %hostpath%
echo 89.146.248.4 ns3.intranet.de >> %hostpath%
echo 74.208.254.4 ns4.intranet.de >> %hostpath%
exit
code:

nice, thank you

I know he may bypass this and the blocking by host file,
I just wanna make it harder for him
He is not good in computer and this things, but if the steps is clear for him
he can simply undo them

You can have him use a minimal-permission (user) account though, and edit the hostfile. Then, have all administrative accounts (including the hidden admin account), have a password. That way, he cannot edit it. Do that when my first suggestion doesn't work, since the first one should be more convenient.
