How to Block Website without any Software

Here is the trick how to block website without any software.

Block website without any Software

Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc
Find the File named "HOSTS"
Open the said file with the help of Notepad
Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" just add the site you want to block

e.g.
127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com
127.0.0.3 www.santabanta.com

Save the file & exit notepad. (Some antivirus may prompt you the changes, simple allow the changes to take effect.)

Now both website are blocked at all.

Just add anyother website you want to block but remember last number must increase in every website.

e. g.

Registry Tricks To Increase Broadband Speeds

This tutorial is meant for increasing the performance of Broadband speeds.

Note: Most of the articles include registry changes. Please take a back-up of registry before attempting any registry changes so that you can revert back if something goes wrong.

Just copy paste following code in Notepad and save the file with any name but the extension of the file must be .REG, and after that run the file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}]

More Simultaneous Downloads With Flashget

I use a download manager, Flashget for my Rapidshare downloading. Since Flashget only offers up to 8 simultaneous downloads, I applied this tweak to this program to enable me to download more than 8 files at one time. This tutorial requires you to modify the registry, so please backup your registry before you start to implement what this tutorial says.


Go to start > Run> then type “regedit”

go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General

open “General”

right-click with your mouse into the right window and create a new “DWORD” value

name new value “MaxSimJobs”

now doubleclick “MaxSimJobs”, choose “decimal” and enter a new value "100"

press “return” and close registry-editor

In Flashget/tools/ options you can now set max. downloads up to 100 instead of 8.
