If you don't have access to your router, then the easiest way would be to install the free internet filter called We-Blocker. In the settings, you can list the 10 web sites that you will allow, and then block all other sites.
We-Blocker will only block web pages and not online games or chat programs. It currently doesn't support "Fast User Switching" in Windows XP, so you will have to uncheck that in the "Control Panel / User Accounts / Change the way users log on or off" window.
If you can log into your router, and if your router has it, you may be able to use the firewall or TCP/IP filter to block all ports exept port 80 (for web browsing), then look for the place to put the range of IP's to exclude access. You will need to know the IP addresses of the 10 websites to allow. You can find this by opening your command prompt and typing "ping www.yahoo.com" or whatever website you want to keep, and it will reply with something like "Pinging www.yahoo-ht2.akadns.net [209.131.36.158]" letting you know what the IP address is.
Put the 10 IP's in your allow list and make a generic range that includes everying else not on your list, like 0.0.0.0-209.131.36.157 (stop just one number before the IP you want to keep). Put the generic range in the "Deny" box, and put the 10 IP addresses in the "Allow" box, usually separated by commas.
Note:
Not all routers will allow you to filter IP addresses, but most will at least let you filter ports. If you don't want them to access anything buy your 10 web pages, then port 80 is all you need.

To block websites and allow work related sites you have to have a Local IT to set this up for you, in my end I cannot visit other sites other than Yahoo and internal sites that I need for my work, frustrating experience but there is a logic on it. Our IT use PAC software but this is not the name of the software that they purchase. but there is always a way to unblock the sites you block in this generation eveything is possible......
