Preserved Topic: Mac equivalent to the Windows Hosts file? (Page 1 of 1)

Well is there and/or a Unix one?

I ran across this solution to the problem of Flash's nagging you to upgrade:
http://weblogz.org/ehaugsjaa/how_to_uninstall_flash.htm

which involves adding this to your Hosts file:

quote:

---

0.0.0.0 download.macromedia.com activex.microsoft.com active.macromedia.com

---

I've added it to the FAQ:

How do I completely disable or uninstall the Flash player?

but was wondering if something similar might be available to people on another OS?

Thanks for your help

Break it down for me emps. You're saying windows nags you to upgrade flash when you load a page?

Jeni: Ah - so you mean the Mac doesn't? Now I think about it is it an ActiveX thing ins't it?

Well you lucky devils
