Problem

Is it possible to block website on Windows without modifying hosts files? The reason I do not want to use it is that users need administrator options to modify it. I need some easier way to block a website. Any ideas?

Fix for: Block website on Windows without host file

Low Risk

Why don't you just change the permissions on the hosts file so that "Everyone" or "Authenticated Users" have modify? Then anyone can edit it. Though, I am confused as to why you would ever do this.
