Quite simple question. Is there a Windows 2000 forum? My work still has 14 year old computers, we don't have the budget to upgrade at this time. These computers are running Windows 2000.
Maybe someone can help me here, instead....
I'm looking to block a website or any website containing the string, "unblockedgames". Using Firefox, the Block Sites extension works. However, the way we've got the batch file setup, the profiles are being deleted when the computer boots up, thus the extension is gone. I've gone through and have marked certain folders as "Hidden", which prevents folders from being deleted, but that still doesn't work.
That said, I had the idea of using the Hosts file to block the website, and redirect the user to a "blocked site" message. Lets say the IP for the blocked website message is 192.168.1.10, and the website I want to block, is "https://sites.google.com/site/unblockedgames77/". I'm thinking something like this in the hosts file would get the job done:
192.168.1.10 sites.google.com/site/unblockedgames77/
I don't want to have to do this to every computer. Can I just do it on one computer and have the hosts file be read from that different computer? If so, how?
