    If you remote control a PC, you can't do it covertly, it's vnc btw.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • The remote control will be seen by anyone observing the remote PC

    Here's some free remove VNC software

    If there was anything that could do it covertly I doubt it could be discussed on this forum as it would pretty much fall under malware that most people get advice on how to remove, so it would kind of be conflicting interests.

    You could make sure the remote registry service is running on the target PC

    Then from your PC run regedit and select connect network regsitry from the file pull down menu and select the computer name then drill down to either

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\

    Or

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\

    There should be some allready listed just copy how these are set for the domains you need to block

    Long winded but will work.

    Do I back up Registry in case things go wrong.

    Say I want to Block Website www.xyz.com for example where would that go?
