Web Browser

I tried the restricted sites dialog in Security under Tools menu in IE, but this just gave me the activex warning when I go to youtube. I want IE to completely keep me from getting through to the web site. How can I do this?

Edit your "hosts" file:
if on XP: c:\windows\system32\drivers\et c\hosts (no space between the t and c)
Add the line:
127.0.0.1 www.youtube.com
Save and close the file.
Try going to Youtube.

   I suppose you can just edit the HOSTS file in c:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/ and add
   http://www.youtube.com 127.0.0.1
