[DXBase] Hosts file in DXbase 2003

2003年3月11日 20:44:05 -0700

I converted my PC several months ago from Windows 98SE to Windows XP Home.
I know the Hosts file is supposed to be in C:\WINDOWS\System\drivers\etc
when running XP, and that's what the DXbase Edit Hosts file window says.
I modified the Hosts file using that window, and I see in My Computer that
the changes were reflected in that file, but the Tools--Options--User
Options--Internet list doesn't reflect the file modifications that I made.
Thinking the program was still looking in the C:\Windows folder, where it
was under 98SE, I copied the updated file to that folder. Still didn't
work. I rebooted in case that would make a difference (since I don't know if
it's read when the PC boots or when an application looks for it), but that
didn't help either.
I even did a file search looking for the mysterious Hosts file that DXbase
is accessing from within the Internet Options window, but no suspicious ones
popped up.
Any thoughts on where the old file that's being read might be hiding?
