I would like to put a batch file in startup that will add sites I wish to
block on IE. What file contains the data entered when you add a site to the
"restricted sites" using TOOLS...INTERNET OPTIONS....SECURITY?

If I can just update 1 copy of the file and have a batch file copy and
replace the file on all my users machines when they log in that would be
great.

I know how to write the batch and get it copied down from the network and
stuff. Just don't know what file in windows contains the list of blocked
sites.
Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,
Try using the Hosts file to acheive this, but you they still can access
websites they shouldn't.
Here how to use the hosts file to block unwanted websites:
