Having read this discussion, I think there should be two options:
"On for all pages, except"
"Off for all pages, except"
This would be easy to understand. For both there would be an
exceptions-list, or a number of alternative lists.
Thus you could have alternative selection of sites or pages within the
sites and choose the selection you currently want.
To implement these, a small off-line settings program could be
written:
The user can create the selections before beginning with the on-line
tests. During the tests he could merely choose between the selections.
Under Windows, these can easily be stored in the registry. If you
want, I can let you have some "Read/save Combo-box contents" functions
(VB6+API) or a small stand-alone program to create such selections.
