Blocking hotmail and Messanger
Hi all

Is it possible to simply block access to these two sites rather then downloading security / parental programmes etc

Thanks

Mike

Re: Blocking hotmail and Messanger
Put them in your restricted sites list in IE, remove the software in control panel etc? Are you wanting to do it for a certain account?

Re: Blocking hotmail and Messanger
i think you could block hotmail through your hosts file, but messenger would be more difficult. this might be of help.

Paul

It's for the main log on account.............I have removed messenger in control panel, I may create a new account and then restrict it so messenger can not be down loaded again. It's the hotmail site I need to try and block ? where can I block in control panel

Thanks

Mike

Re: Blocking hotmail and Messanger
Why are you blocking it? If it's for someone else then why not create a seperate account.
