How to redirect a website
Here's a really clever way of making a website redirect to another. If you have to share your computer with someone else, and you want to annoy them, you can use this trick to make it seem as if their favourite web site is something else.- First of all, find a web site that you want to 'redirect' to.
- Find the I.P. address of this web site
- Start 'Run', and type in:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts - A notepad file will open. Underneath the line ' 127.0.0.1 localhost' put the i.p. address of the bad web site, followed by a space and then the website you want to redirect
