block websites without using any software

How to block websites without using any software:-

Want to block a website on your computer, then you just follow the simple step which is shown below. In this article you have to learn how to block any website with-out any software.

Follow the steps:

Step-1: 

At first Open “Run” from the start menu or press WinKey + R. Just copy paste the following path and press ENTER.

notepad %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

or

Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc and find the file “hosts”. Then open with notepad file.

Step-2:

When this hosts file is opened in Notepad, at the end of the file you will see something like “127.0.0.1 localhost”.

Step-3:

Under “127.0.0.1 localhost” just add another website URL that you want to block.

For Example:-

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.2 http://www(dot)abc(dot)com

127.0.0.3 http://www(dot)facebook(dot)com

127.0.0.1 (or Localhost) is the standard hostname given to the address of your computer. You mapped the website name to your PC, hence you can’t visit the site any more. So if you want to block Facebook, just add this line: 127.0.0.1 nytimes(d0t)com

Step-4:

Make sure every time you add another website, the last digit of the address 127.0.0.x should not be the same.

Step-5: 

Save the file and exit.

So, here you go. Restart your browser if it is opened and changes will take place immediately.

The good thing is that no message, no pop ups nothing will be displayed when someone tries to open a blocked website. Your browser will just fail to open those websites without any error messages.

Enable the hidden Admin.

1.Enable the hidden Administrator account in WIN 7,8,8.1, and 10.

The Administrator account in WIN7 and later is disabled by default. It is a built in account which we cannot access for security reasons. However we may need the administrator account for carrying out troubleshooting operations,testing some potentially harmful software or carrying out networking tasks such as running apache servers which requires admin privileges. Here is a step by step guide to do that

Step 1: Open cmd by typing cmd on start menu search bar and running it as an administrator.

Step 2: In the command prompt type net user

As you can see there are two users one Administrator and another one is your user name.

The Administrator account is disabled by default. So, we are going to enable it by typing in the command prompt

net user administrator /active:yes

Now the admin account is having no password and any one can access it. Hence we are going to give a password by typing

net user administrator

Note: using this technique you can change the password of any user by typing(Asterisk will not appear in this case)

net user username *

for example my pc username is Kaushal

hence, I will be typing, net user kaushal *

To disable the admin account type

net user administrator /active:no

Next time when you restart your pc you will get two accounts. One consisting of username and another consisting of the administrator as shown in the pic below

Using administrator account you don’t have to run programs in admin mode by right clicking every time because all the programs running inside the admin account are running in admin mode by default. 

Creating Custom Search Engines in Chrome

Creating Custom Search Engines in Chrome:

Here is a trick, which you can learn in few minutes and hope it will be Greatly Useful & Time Savior (it helps me a lot). You might know this but if you don't, you should explore it.

Before using custom search you need to "create custom search".

1. Adding a Custom Search Engine:

The easiest way to open the search preferences window is to right-click (Mac: ctrl+click) in the address bar and select ‘Edit Search Engines…‘ – alternatively, you can also go toPreferences -> Default Search: Manage.

This opens up the Search Engines setting page as below:

Go to the Other Search Engines (bottom section). You’ll notice (to your big surprise?) that a lot of different search engines have already been added. This is because Chrome automatically adds search engines to the list after you search from a site. Most of the ones you’re looking to add are probably already there, but you need to change the keyword.

Otherwise, it’s pretty easy to add a search engine manually. You just need to supply the name, keyword and URL. Not simply the site URL, mind. You’ll need to show Chrome where to insert the search string.

To find the correct URL, simply launch a search on the site, and take a look at the address bar. You’ll need to replace your own search query with %s to create the search URL for Chrome. Perhaps even easier, you should be able to search for ‘%s’ on the site, and just copy the entire URL.

Just for illustration i will show you one custom search (which i use a lot), created for saving the YouTube Video to any required Format using.

Scroll down till the end, Type in "some name" for your search engine in first field (for example: Video Downloader, this will be appeared as header while searching). 

Type the Keyword (Only important thing you need to remember while searching later), lets say "video". Get the exact search format for that particular site, Type that in third field and replace the search query with "%s"

Once You are done, it will be added to your Custom Search List as below:

2. Using Custom Search Engine

Now Forgot everything what you have done so far for setting the search engine. Only thing you need to remember is associated keyword ("Remember Second Field".! video).

To use that custom search, type keyword in chrome address bar and hit "Space" key, and then type in your search query and hit enter. This will immediately redirect you to desired site and shows the search query.

Screenshot attached, using just created "video" keyword, and copied random YouTube video link as search query.

Voila.!!! You save it's video/audio whichever format you want to.

Want some search to be used extensively, make that engine DEFAULT, and then you don't even need the keyword. Just paste your query in the address bar (sounds familiar right? searching something on google, you just type search query right.! Because google is your default search engine).

3. For Some Complex Searches

For some complex search (where you don't have direct pattern to Search_URL), you can write some html script. Just pass the script path with proper arguments as:

Use YouTube with locked phone.

Use YouTube on Android phone with locked phone!

I accidently discovered this while using YouTube today.

I pressed the side lock button twice immediately and the video continued to play in the background.

How cool?
