Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Melvin,
Tried your suggestion, found 8 with the Hosts (3) listing, Imhosts (5)
listing. Some by right clicking gave only a copy or extract command. renamed

Did not rename the imhosts. One hosts folder is part of SPY-BOT search and
destroy .
