Not here.

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.

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...

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.

open n edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, changes survive. I see nothing wrong.

Thanks for the reply.

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