Hi,
This line in the HOSTS file should block Yahoo games
127.0.0.1 games.yahoo.com
More info on the HOSTS file at:
The Hosts File (Gorilla Design Studio): http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/
Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File:

Post back (reply to this message) if you need additional help with the HOSTS
file edit.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Don I haven't had enough time to use it but looks like what I might
need.
I have another question for you if you don't mind...
Is there a way to set a "timer" for a site? like only 45 min a day? My wife
is struggling with staying off games all day and asked if I could help her
limit her time.
Thanks again,
Larry

Hi Larry,
Some of the parental control type programs can limit computer time or
internet usage time. I would not inflict this on a spouse without his / her
approval. ;-)
I haven't used any programs of that type so I can't recommend one. You might
start here:
