Hi,<br />
<br />
I would like to stop access to certain web addresses on a few Windows XP machines, (without using anything like parental control). &nbsp;Can anyone tell me if there is a facility in Microsoft Management Console that can block access to certain web addresses?<br />
<br />
I've looked at the snap-ins available, I've gone through all of them (I think) and can't seem to find anything that resembles this. &nbsp;I know how to do the very basics with MMC, that is all.<br />
<br />
Otherwise is there any other way (such as additional snap-ins that can be installed??), or the use of software that anyone can suggest, that is not expensive! &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Cheers for any help!<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

MMC - restrict access to certain web addresses? (300 points!)

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability.
