Answer 2

That's so mean... but it'll probably get them out and doing something else.

You block the site in your hosts file - http://www.logicaltips.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=506

"One way to block sites is by adding entries to Windows' "Hosts" file. This file is just a plain editable text file that lives on your computer. It has entries that look like:
127.0.0.1 media.fastclick.net

When you surf to a site, Windows automatically checks to see if the address is located in the Hosts file. The number 127.0.0.1 is the "loop back" IP address of your own computer, so Windows skips the link to the site (media.fastclick.net) and moves on. The ad server can't open its window, so it can't load any programs, spyware, or cookie files either.

You can open the Hosts file in Notepad and edit the entries so the sites you want to avoid are blocked. In Windows XP, the file is located in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc folder."

Answer 3

Assuming you're using Internet Explorer 7, go to TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> SECURITY tab, click on Restricted Sites. There's a button somewhere that says "Sites" or "add", click it, then a window will pop up. In the box that says "Add this site to the zone", type in http://www.youtube.com and click add, then OK or Close.
