      babulkhan : I wanted to block that to limit my kid's viewing time on youtube. I had finally found the way to do that.

       

      I updated the hosts file under the system32/drives/etc path. took the youtube url and just added to block.

        It's alright, Actually I usually do use new features of windows and always try to explore things, So that's why I've joined MSCommunity and the important is feeling happy by making peoples happy. Have a nice life.
