Blocking INDIVIDUAL webpages on IE
I know how to block websites on IE, but is there anyway that I can block individual webpages? I copied the exact URL of the page but still found I had to enter a password everytime I went to other areas of the website.
Can it be done?

Hi there,
Yes! Yes, it CAN be done. Despite many a site stating, flatly, that you cannot block anything but full domains, or that there is NO way to block individual webpages in IE without, in turn, denying access to the full domain... there is a way.
The question is, do you want to go through the steps to do it? :-)
Tools > Options > Content:
Look for the "Content Advisor" section.
Click "enable."
If it is already enabled, click "settings."
Now, here is where things usually go wrong with IE's content advisor when people try to use it to block individual webpages:
How would YOU name the place you go to enter a URL that is never allowed? Why "Approved Sites" of course!
So click on the tab labeled: "Approved Sites."
Enter the URL(s) you want to block, one at a time, and click "never."
Now, assuming you aren't using this to childproof a computer, you are going to want to do two things to make your life better in the adventure that is blocking individual webpages URLs in IE:
1) On the "general" tab, check the box which says "Users can see sites that have no rating" or words to that effect.
Without this step, any website which hasn't tagged all their pages with special code to say what child safety levels the page might belong to... will be blocked.
2) On the ratings tab, slide the sliders to the levels for nudity, language, sex, and violence to levels that you are comfortable with.
This way, pages which ARE tagged for content, will not be blocked if they are below your threshold for such things.
To restore a completely uncensored connection, except for your specifically blocked webpages, of course, slide the sliders all the way up, so that no tags will trigger the block.
Here is another hint for you: Pick a password (you MUST pick one) that you can remember. If you need to disable this or change settings for IE's content advisor... you are going to need that password.
If you have any trouble with this, let me know, and I will help you work around it.
DN.
