(1/7) > >>

Clannad_92:
hey all~
now that i have new desktop, i wanna ask if anybody know how to do the above question...

first, let me explain it...
for internet explorer, yeah i want to remove it/completely disable it...

for firefox, i want to block all access to website except whitelist (talking about Procon Latte), but it seems that i cant configure i well...
for example, i wanna add http://www.mudah.my/Sarawak/for-sale to the whitelist and as my homepage...
then, i select block all site except whitelist...when try to search in the above site, it is block and afaik, procon latte doesnt block anything related to whitelist only...
atm, still trying to figure out this...

Duki3003:
For the first part, you can never fully uninstall Internet explorer.
But to remove it go to Programs and Features in control panel, then click on the “Turn Windows features on or off” link on the left side.

The Windows Features screen opens up and here you want to uncheck the box next to Internet Explorer 8.
You may need to restart computer afterwards.


For the second part, I'm sure some parental control program can do it easily, but I can't help you there.

Natheria:
You can customize where your computer directs domains and ip addresses in your hosts file. This is actually how people create blacklists of add site domains and other somewhat malicious sites. Google how to make the internet suck less and go to the someonewhocares domain. this is a good example of what to put into your own hosts file.

You can also look into access control lists (or ACLs). I'm really not sure why you would want an internet whitelist... Why do you want an internet whitelist?

And as for getting rid of IE just disable it/change all file types and programs to run in Firefox instead of IE. Problem solved.

AceHigh:
You can remove Internet Explorer, but then there will be a bunch of other programs that will not function properly, so don't attempt it.

It could be a public computer for a business and only wants customers to access one site. :P. Or it could be a shared home computer that children are going be using.

I have internet explorer disabled on my computer and I haven't noticed any problems. Sometimes a program will force open ie instead of my system default chrome, but I haven't had anything not open or crash as a result of disabling ie.
