IE8 and Hosts File (Restricted Sites)
Hi,

I've added the MVPS Hosts File to IE8 (as I had with IE7). The addition of
this file is resulting in the blocking of adverts etc which is great,
however, they're not displayed whilst viewing the Resticted Sites - the area
is simply blank. Anyone know how to view the list within IE8?

Regards and thanks.

AC

To IE, how? I rather guess you mean Windows.

The hosts file has nothing to do with IE. Just open it in a text editor and you
see all the sites.
