I assume you use Internet Explorer and want to block some website from being accessed on your computer. For this you can use Content Advisor.
In IE, Do this :
Tools > Internet Options
Click on Content tab.
In the Content Advisor frame, click on Enable.
Now in the Approved sites tab, you can manage the websites that you want to block or approve to the users.
And on the General tab, set a Supervisor Password so that only you can change the settings.

There a way to block websites through registry? Wow.. never heard of that..

If you block a web in registry(IF POSSIBLE), doent it mean that your IE rejects that domain(IF). Even so, you can access the website through other browsers that works without ie engine.. like ff..i dont think imposing a registry value can control all the browsers. dont they have different agents?.....

Some viruses do that I guess, to block access to anti-viruse sites... I dont know how...
