Geek Culture / Redirecting User- Editing Config File

Hello,
To be short and brief, I once remembered there being a way you edit a file on your computer, which (when effect) made it so when you type in a url and click go, it directs you to the site you edited on that file you would edit.
Like I type in Google.com, and when I hit enter, it switches me to yahoo.com because someone edits the file.. That's the effect. Does anyone know how to do this, we're currently having issues on our network with websites visited that are not authorised, and users are bypassing them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

However, I do remember, a step is to change an ip adress when that file is opened, and to get the ip address of the site you want to redirect the user to, would be to ping yahoo.com to get yahoo.com's ip address, then you would be able to type that in.

So if you could specify the file and the steps, I would be very, very , very, very, very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very,very, very , very, very happy.

I remember finding out about this file quite a while ago when I was looking for a way to fix the changes a virus had made to my PC. Unfortunately I can't remember where the file is, sorry.

THANKS JEKU!
Really, let me try and edit the config file and see what happens. Thanks again.

Edit
How do I edit the file so it redirects the user when they try to access a certain website? Thanks
