How do I block a particular webpage?

Seaxwyn

Hi all

I have a time-wasting and depressing addiction to Freecell! Yes that tedious little game that comes free on your PC. I deleted it on my PC and have now started playing in on Yahoo Games. I would do like to win back the hours of my life I waste doing this pointless activity.

Is there any way I can stop my browser opening that particular page? I can't block the whole of Yahoo as I have email there as well.

I know self discipline should be enough but I have proven to myself that I have none.

Very very very grateful to anyone who can help.

PS I use Firefox but have IE as well so blocks on both would be great.

Firefox...

For both IE and FF you can edit the host file...

Now you'll have to find something else to procrastinate with.

Yes, I might just have to block these forums!

You read my mind. My post count is starting to scare me a bit.

Hi goofy, I know there are much worse things to be addicted to, but believe me, it was bad enough!
