    Hello,


    My system: Windows 7(64 bit).
    I want to block a web site. I usually make a change at hosts file in
    Code:
    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
    It works for blocking the web site www.abcdefg.com by setting
    Code:
    127.0.0.1 www.abcdefg.com
    However I am not able to block the underneath site such as
    Code:
    www.abcdefg.com/politics
    What I want to block everything in this site.

    Thanks for help.

    127.0.0.1 www.abcdefg.com

    Will block anything containing www.abcdefg.com

    Will not block anything not containing www.abcdefg.com (such as abcdefg.com/politics.

    So also add 127.0.0.1 abcdefg.com to the hosts file.
