Don't see the hosts file, I'm trying to block the ads of my browsers

Hello

I'm trying to block ads in my browser but when I go to c; Windows/system32/drivers/etc I do not see the Host file I virtue see a file while properties indicates that it is 5 archives. I need to add some info on the hosts file how to make this file show. Although I don't see it when I try to paste a modified hosts file it won't allow replacement of Martin

I use XP.

Thank you

Catalin

Click Start--> go in run and paste the following entry: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc

You now see the hosts file?
If this is not the case, try this:
1. click on start go to run-->
2. tap------(literally just a------and nothing else)
3. press on enter
4. click on Tools--> folder--> view options
5. make sure that a small black dot appears next to 'display files and folders '.
6. scroll down for 'show hidden files and folders' and remove the checkbox from "Hide protected files (recommended) operating system.
7. click on 'yes '.
8. click on 'Ok '.
9. click on start--> go in run and paste the following entry: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
If you * see the hosts file now, right-click on it and make sure that there is no check mark 'read only' and 'hidden' boxes... If they are verified, then remove the check.
Note: you should not have to perform steps 1 through 8 to view the hosts file; the hosts file is visible even with these settings, the default value (for example, when files are hidden you should always see the hosts file), but you may have a spyware infection that has tried the hide and prevent changes in the host file (to prevent you from making corrections in the file which made spyware)
assuming that you have made any customizations to this file, it should appear as the default value listed in this Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034
If it looks not to the default file listed at this URL, then you can recreate the file by using the templates included in this document KB

  • I don't see the button resize in Windows Photo Gallery. He disappeared.

    I want to resize pictures on my computer, but I don't see the option of resizing under file.  He simply disappeared.  Is there something to show?

    Hi NicolePutnam,
     

    The option of resizing is not given unless you are connected to Windows Live.

    The best way is to resize the image is to open Windows Photo Gallery, and then select the photos.

    Click on the button send and then asks it to resize the pictures.

    For more information, see:

    Try the steps listed in the article below:

    I don't see the link to the engineering of Netgear XWNB5201 units for my Mac?

    I thought that this establishment should be simple, plug-and-play as such.

    The security on the access point button is not very good. I think that this will be returned for a refund

    Netgear equipment is now packed ready to mail to perceive as I spent quite long try to put equipment which is completely lost time.

    I am disappointed with the Netgear site for support when you follow the instructions in the manual and connect, I see is complaints and comments and no solutions. The site is in my opinion, very poorly built and managed.

    As solution I just ordered Devolo units that have been strongly recommended and will be with me in a few hours, and my Netgear headache will be resolved.

  • I can see the knobs, but I don't see the logic in what happens when I press a button.

    I can see the knobs, but I don't see the logic in what happens when I press a button. With every key I pressed a quick screen comes first, but I can't use the sliders to make whatever it is - either by touching the screen or by using the arrows on the keyboard. The screen for quick access expires before I can try a lot.

    Shingay,

    If you have not watched on the manual for ths unit yet, please, it usually will tell you which buttons do what, and how to navigate the OSD menu. If this does not work could you please provide the specific monitor you use so that we can see what we can help with?
