OK, and it's not recommended to do so.

I'm working on a better way, but it's a bit tricky. What MS did there must rank among the most stupid things ever designed by man.

Nope, not here. I saw your warning: "NOT recommended with file operations!" and decided to stay far away from that Tweak. :wink:

Soon it will work perfectly out of the box. It's the next little thing after 13.20. And then comes the next cool thing... :mrgreen:

I have this problem also.

In other words, do not use XYPlorer for c:\windows work, use the native explorer.exe especially if you want to update the Hosts file.

Configuration > Shell Integration > 64-bit Windows > Show the real System32 directory checked
open n edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, changes survive. I see nothing wrong. :eh:

Thanks for the reply.

Fair enough. I am running 12.20.0400 which does not have that configuration option. I guess I should upgrade :)

cheers
