web counter host file?

[Tyler W.]

does any body know any web site counters that are free that give the
save or similar free service that onestat.com does. what I want to use
it for is to put up a trap in my email account for example I save the
script counter as an html file and attach it to an email and send it to
one of my accounts that I want to check to see if someone found out my
me email address and password.

is there a way to disable the host file with a program or bat file or
something cause I want to use onestat.com but it in the custom host file
that I get from mvps.org has that entry so that it blocks it when I try
to contact it but I do not want to keep on deleting the entries in the
custom host file each time I update my host file with that custom host
file. http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

I'm assuming you're talking about the "HOSTS" file, not just "hosts", right?
If so, there are a few things you can do:

-- rename HOSTS to, say, Hosts.old, or OldHOSTS, whatever you like. It'll
no longer be used.

-- Edit the HOSTS file and remove the annoying entry.
Both of the above are BAD moves, IMO.

-- Go back to the mvps site and READ. They give you a full explanation
there.

Yes, you can do all of the above from a batch file, the first one being very
easy, the second requiring a few more lines of code. The group
alt.msdos.batch.nt group can help you with formatting/writing batch files.

Or, quit updating your HOSTS file. You seem to be messing with things you
don't understand also.

Why ask HERE? What does this have to do with the XP OS?

Ask elsewhere

The Host file is a part of windows

Yes, but what your doing with it has no part of an operating system.
Your asking a programming question, not a windows question.

No, the "HOSTS" files is a file used by windows and is part of it. A "Host"
file is something else; no idea what. Windows creates the default HOSTS
file if the user doesn't make any changes to it.
