    Blocked links in email messages and websites


    Since a few weeks ago my emails Outlook 2007 and websites Firefox browser do not permit clicking on legitimate links to websites. On some I can use a workaround by copying the link then selecting 'Paste and Go' as a browser entry, but not all. In one case the failed workaround was to change a password due to old one being lost, so was important. Fortunately I could use a different approach to regain my old password.

    :)

    How to Block Websites

    I have googled a bit and found software that can be used to block websites on a computer. I also found another way by using Windows which I would prefer. My problem is I must be doing something wrong. Here is the site that has the steps.

    It is still a text file. And it does not block the website. I cannot do what you suggested by saving to docs and changing name. But at least its in the folder. Now how to make it work.
