You can put a restriction in Internet Explorer to stop that browser getting to ceretain websites.

However there is nothing to stop a person downloading another browser like Firefox or Opera and using that and bypassing IE totally.

So you need to stop the COMPUTER getting to these web sites, and thta is a little more difficult and more technical.

There are programs like NetNanny (and others) that control internet usage, maybe try to get one of them.

There is also a file on both Windows and Mac computers called the host file. This file can be edited and any websites you add to the list will not be accessible from that computer.

This is free, and no software is required, but not really recommended for beginner users, so if you know what you are doing then you could give it a go.

Just to a google search for how to change the host file on you particular operating system.
The host file answer was also given here http://www.theanswerb...y/Question863429.html and includes this link http://www.5starsupport.com/xp-faq/1-98.htm
