Hey Buddies, I am back with a awesome trick.

You may use this trick to amaze your friends, relatives.

Sometimes it happens that we do not want that any other person who is using your system may use a particular website or any social networking site, So in this matter you can restrict access to that website by following these steps even without using any software or antivirus.

1. Go to Windows installed drive.(Most likely to be "C" Drive.)

2. Go to 'Windows' Folder.

3. Now, Go to 'System32' folder.

4. Then go to 'Drivers' folder

5. Go to 'etc' folder.

 in short go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

6. In 'etc' folder'; You will find a file naming "hosts".

7. Open this file in notepad or you may open notepad and drag & drop this file to notepad.

8. In the last line of this notepad add this string. 127.0.0.1 and put a space and place name of the website.

e.g.  If you wish to restrict facebook than do type this in last of notepad.
                127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com

9. Now save your notepad with Ctrl+S or by going in file tab in notepad.

That is it. You have successfully restricted website with simple steps.
