Q: I am trying to setup this computer for my brother the paint shop. The computer is suppose to be used on a few websites . such as: colormatch.com, hotmail.com, and a few other.
How can set this computer only allows users to these sites and no more? .

remove DNS, add the selected sites to the hosts file
QFT – this is what I do with my kid.
He turns in a list of sites he wants to go to everyweek – yep he copy's and pastes them into a notepad. On weekends I check em out and add them to his white list that I do the exact same way.
Re:Why not just set up a proxy?
Re:Kudos for the great idea guy! I will probably end up doing that.
Re:remove DNS, add the selected sites to the hosts file
Re:Some routers have the ability to place these type of controls.
Re:if you're using IE, use the content advisor, and set allowed sites. You can also set a password for that. If you were running zone alarm or something similiar, you can also block sites with that, as the previous method can be bypassed by using another browser.
Re:Well, I don't want the employees to be able to change the settings back. If I remember right, there is no password security feature to protect my changes.
Re:Just set the restriction extremely high. Use filters that'd block every website and add your few websites to the exceptions list.
