resticting web site access

[camused]

can someone please tell me how to set up a computer to be able to only
access 1 to 3 websites. all other sites need to be blocked.
my system has the following;
xp pro, i.e 7, enabled default guest account which i plan to use for the
access of the 1 to 3 sites.

Your Guest account is allowed to only access three specific websites and
deny all other sites.

Also, Are other logins to be allowed to access any website (key issue).
