    If you edit the hosts file to point anything but the sites you want to allow access to to 0.0.0.0 then it should pretty well seal off access using any form of browser.

    so something like:
    Code:
    0.0.0.0 *
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx allowedsite.com
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy othersite.com
    might work. I'm not sure if Windows hosts files support wildcards ... if not that could be rather tricky.
