    Thanks dude.... It has helped me A LOT. The only thing I took out was the link to http://www.kqzyfj.com so I can see the link to Newegg.

    I agree Silj, I've used that HOSTS file for years. NewEgg advertises here so QCH is just trying to pay the bills....

    I just removed the entry so I could see the newegg add and be able to click it to order stuff and send some $$$ back to Short-Media. Nothing big... :D

    Is it possible to source another file within hosts file in Windows? I have my several additions for my internal network and it would be easier to drop this file in the folder and source from my original hosts file instead of merging my items after every update.

    Thanks for the valuable effort !

    Mirage just use lmhosts. You'd have two separate files which might also be easier to maintain.

    I did not know lmhosts before and googled. It is just what I wanted. Thanks for the hint !
