Does anyone know how is the command to check and clean the hosts table (C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS)?

Thanks in advance.

to chekc the hosts table you must first create a RAM virtual drivethat the hosting table will automatically jump to by to by typing this into your autoexec.bat:
Code: [Select]
Then in your autoexec.bat on the next line type:
Code: [Select]
thats all there is to it!

Thanks for help.

But I already read that is possible to clean this table executing a command in a MS DOS prompt, without creating RAMDISKS.

Do you know how to do that?

Thanks again,
