Hello and goodday 2u helphope.

The following tip I found about blocking internet access, after goooooogleing a bit, is to be read on this site:
http://www.jsifaq.com/SF/Tips/Tip.aspx?id=10092
This works with Windows XP Professional and using the Group Policy Management Console. (go to Run and type in gpedit.msc)

So it depends on the operating system you work with. :shock:

I hope this wil help you :wink:

I have used the earlier version shared computer toolkit and found it quite effective, works on XP pro and home according to FAQ

Hi :lol: and thanks for the great tips.

I've got xp pro and I've been "playing" a bit in vain with gpedit before asking for a portable app. But I'll have another try.

Quite interesting also

Thanks again for the help
