How can I block internet access games and not everything else? I disabled the
BHO but with SP 2 it pops up a window how to turn it back on! Any suggestions?
 
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
