Nice tips Darkuni but number 12 doesn't make sense
12) Ad Blocking (advanced users) (Back to Top)
There are ad blocking packages out there. Pointless when you can get the same effect by simple measures. To reverse the process, just delete the HOSTS file and rename the HOSTS.SAM file in the same folder to HOSTS.
a. Download this new HOSTS file. (Its zipped)
b. Extract to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ (this will overwrite what is there)
c. Load your browser - almost all the ads will be GONE from your pages. If you find another ad server you want blocked, load C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts into Notepad or other PURE text editor and add it in the same manner the others are.
The hosts file just associates IP address's with the names
In 98 you use to be able to add the IP and name of the computer to access other 98 computers using file and print sharing over the internet.
