It is easy to block a website on a computer using any software or just by changing the dns server and making few settings but if you don’t want to use any additional software or service then too you can block websites on your Windows machine. All you will require for this is :

  1. A windows machine.
  2. A text editor (notepad will do).
  3. A web browser .

Just follow the steps given below to block a particular website.

  1.  Navigate to the  C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
  2. Find the file named “HOSTS”
  3.  Open it using notepad.
  4.  Under “127.0.0.1 localhost” Add 127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com , and that site will no longer be accessable.
  5. Done!

example :

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com

- www.orkut.com will not be accessible anymore.

If you want to add more sites then just increment the IP address by one and add it to the list.

i.e. 127.0.0.3 www.yahoo.com
127.0.0.4 www.msn.com
127.0.0.5 www.google.com

You can use this trick to block popup sites as well or any other advertising site.

Now you can create your own text to speech converter software to make your computer speak whatever you type. I found this script on some Vietnamese site. It’s pretty cool. Just run this script and make it read any funny sentence.Copy the code given below in notepad and save it as anyname.vbs. Make sure that you save it as .vbs file.

Dim message, sapi
message=InputBox("What do you want me to say?","Speak to Me")
Set sapi=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
sapi.Speak message

After making a vbs file just double click on that file and type anything you want in the textbox.
