I'm leading up to a heavy assessment block in university and certain sites (*cough* myspace *cough*) have been really distracting me. I confess to having absolutely no will power in such areas and would like to know how i can block this website with firefox so i can't (temporarily) access it. cheers.
Create a text file like this, name it "HOSTS" (no "dot" or extension) and replace your current unused HOSTS file with it. -OR- If you are using a HOSTS file already, add the last two of these three lines to it:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 myspace.com
127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com
The HOSTS file is generally found here:
Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98/ME = C:\WINDOWS
You may have to reboot, but once you do, you will not
see myspace.com.
If you want something really nice to come up instead, replace the numbers in front of the myspace lines with 65.19.155.36 and you will get the Hyperboard instead! [evil grin]
