Those who know the Windows registry know that, in Microsoft's infinite
wisdom, the "App Paths" key MUST end with "exe" for it to work.

There is no hosts.exe (I repeat) there is no hosts.exe.

The whole point of the App Paths key is to make the editing of hosts a
simple one-click affair.

But, Microsoft insists that ALL "Apps Paths" keys end with "exe" whether or
not the file you're trying to open ends with ".exe".

So, that's the ONLY reason the hosts App Path key is called "hosts.exe".

Please reply if you understand this 'cuz I feel badly that this was
misunderstood by a few of you.
