Hi,
I've got to get busy on a few projects and don't want distractions of websites I regularly go to/msn/poker/games and all the other things. What's the best way to block all these things? Do I need to set up a new account on the computer and only allow the use of Office tools and Internet Explorer and block poker.ie/boards.ie etc etc? Whats the best way to go about doing so?

Any feedback appreciated:)

Ok, hmon now, if my self control isn't the best in the world, is there any other way of doing this? lol

Uninstall the games n cut ur internet connection....

Hehe, well what's the story with setting up another acc on the pc? I'm thinking of setting one up for a while, and not allowing access to said programs and then blocking access to certain sites and when it asks me for a password, I'll close my eyes and just headbutt the keyboard or sumthin and press enter;)

Can I delete this account later with no worries and is what I want to do even possible?

In IE you can add a list of restricted sites.
Tools-> IE options -> Security -> Restricted Site -> Add

Also, you could use msconfig to stop MSN messenger from running @ startup

Thanks, is it possible the other way though? It's a lot more effort to go and log out/restart etc then to just have to open up the program so I'm hoping the more effort, the less likely I'll be to open it:o
