Provide a graphical interface for the Windows Hosts file.
This program provides a simple graphical interface for editing the Windows Hosts file. Provisions are made for the user to add, delete, and modify host entries in a more intuitive way than doing so by hand. IP addresses are accepted in either IPv4 or IPv6 format.
Winhost Editor work?s great on all of my operating systems I use at home.
Does exactly as it suppose to.
Easy to use and beats editing in notepad any day.
Winhost Editor let?s you know if you accidentally typed in an incorrect IP address.
Cons
Too bad I can?t get this program to work on a Mac.
Summary
Winhosts Editor works great for modifying your hosts file. I find that modifying your hosts files in windows to be a real pain. You have to first show hidden files and then open notepad to find the location of your host file, where this program automatically shows your host file in a nice clean format. Creating a new entry is a simple as clicking the + plus symbol and up comes a dialog box to enter in a new host entry. You also have the option to add a comment which I didn?t even know was possible. The great thing about this program is that it works perfectly on the 3 operating systems I am using, Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. The next thing for me is too do is test this on my servers at work.
