*Method 2.* Go to every windows machine open the hosts file and append the lines below
127.0.0.1 facebook.com 127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
The host file is located at "%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\" for both win32 and win64 where %SystemRoot% is the windows installation folder e.g. "C:\windows" This will redirect any facebook url requests back to localhost
