I use a shared computer at home but when i go out my sisters go on facebook and msn on my computer. Is there a way in which i can block certain email addresses from logging in on my computer ?

Why don't you just password protect your computer account... DUH...

Start > Control Panel > Uswer Accounts > (YOUR ACCOUNT) > Create Password

OR

Completely Block the Facebook and or msn site

My Computer > C Drive > Windows > System 32 > Drivers > etc > (Right click hosts, open with notepad)


CONSIDER:

Instead of using your computer account, set up another account for them to use and access the sites.

Set up another user account on your computer as "guest" or "sisters" or the like. (This can be found in the control panel.) Make your own account an administrator (although it usually is by defaullt) and you can assign it a password. This means when you switch your pc on you will be able to choose between your account and your sisters'.

When in your account you can apply the parental controls to block programs on your sisters' account (in this case, messenger.exe) or web addresses (facebook.com).

Have a fiddle about with it yourself. If you are unsure how to proceed then Google "set up parental conrols windows xp" or "vindows vista". there are contless website that will talk you through it step by step, although I personally like to faff around with it myself.
