Hosts Editor is a PowerShell script designed to simplify the management of the hosts
file on a Windows system. It provides an interactive interface for adding, removing, enabling, and disabling entries, backing up and restoring the hosts
file, and displaying its content in a table format.
Ensure that you have PowerShell installed on your Windows system.
- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Navigate to the directory containing the script.
- Run the script with administrative privileges.
After launching the script, you will be presented with a menu to choose the operation you wish to perform. Follow the prompts to manage your hosts
file.
- Logging: Implement logging to track script execution and changes made to the
hosts
file. - Read Entries from File: Add functionality to read entries from a separate file instead of manually entering them during runtime.
- Configuration File: Create a configuration file to store script preferences and settings. This file can be in JSON, XML, or another format.
- Registry Access: Enhance the script to read and write configurations to the Windows Registry, providing a centralized storage location for settings.
