Hostman Questions

Hi,

Does anyone know about this program:

HostsMan is a freeware application that lets you manage your Hosts file.
Includes an option to turn off the unneeded DNS Client Service.
This also has an option to update the existing HOSTS file when needed.
Important! - make sure you select: Default action - Overwrite
Use the Server option to replace the Action Cancelled message.


I was wondering if this would be an easier alternative instead of trying to manage the host files myself and would truly appreciate your input.

I found the program on this site:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

Thanks for the advice and I may not be back here until very late on Sunday but I will be abck to read this.

I just discovered Hostman and it does make it very easy to update your host file.
