Since you do not need one, it is not a poblem so don't worry about it.

The default hosts file has only one entry:



127.0.0.1 localhost





So, just create a simple text file with that one line and you'll be all

set. Of course, any custom entries you or your applications may have

created have alresdy been lost.

Create a new one with any text editor, make the Properties Read Only

when you are done.



This is the contents of the default host file you can copy/paste into

your replacement:







# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host

name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#

# For example:

#

#

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host



127.0.0.1 localhost

Windows will create new, default HOSTS file if it's needed.

file:

How would one create the conditions necessary for Window to create a

new. default HOSTS file?
