Steve,
Thank you. I never would have figured that out on my own. It took me a
while to understand what you were describing to copy the tab into the replace
with field. Worked like a charm once I understood that. It's fixed now, so
that issue is taken care of.
Notepad is a bit different in Win7 than in WinXP. The WinXP version would
not open the hosts file as it is much too large, but the Win7 version does.
But, I've come to the sad conclusion that neither PeerGuardian nor
PeerBlock will work with Win7, even though there is a spcific version of
PeerGuardian for Win7. So, I may hae to invest in the "Emsa Advanced Port
Blocker" which seems to have the same features plus a TCP monitor and it is for
Win7+.
