My son is addicited to an online solitaire site and I want to block it so he cannot access it without blocking other sites. Ideas?

I don't want to change security settings. I just want to know how to permanently block one particular site.

There is no secure way of blocking a page. A fairly experienced user could always circumvent measures preventing them from using a single website. You could try using the parental control settings of your operating system, or use your internet gateway to block the page.

You can block specific websites with the HOSTS file.
