I believe that is it. Now if I export that file using reg.exe would it give
me the contents of the host file? If not any idea on how I would do it by
using the registry not windows explorer.
No, that registry key only tells the location of the hosts file. If you
want the contents you'll need to open the hosts file at that location
(%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and read the contents. There is
no way to get the contents of a file on the hard drive via the registry
editor or reg.exe.
