I have the 32 bit version of windows xp pro on my 64 bit box, and I am unable to find where the hosts file is hidden....There isn't even a system32 folder in my windows directory! If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Chris

TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS > VIEW = deselect "Hide Protected Operating System Files"

Now, look for the HOST file to be in the

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc



.

Aw thank you so much! I can't believe I didn't think of that! :-P I never had to do that on my old system.
