“ When I use a Hosts file in my Administrator account do the settings cross

The only place, that Windows will look for a HOSTS file, is in
\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc. All others, wherever they may be, are
ignored.
The file is read during system boot.

I set up three user accounts. One is a password protected administrator
account that I use when I need to and two are Limited User Accounts for most
everyday stuff. The administrator account is where I installed most of the
programs on this computer.
I don't see how a Hosts file is read during system boot when the Hosts file
is designed to protect my computer from adware, spyware, hijackers, and ads
while surfing the internet.

Yes.
Ignore any posts made by the Stalker Leythos, he's still in love with me.
He started stalking me after I spurned his advances towards me.
He said he would stop Stalking me If I stopped mentioning his name.
As you can see that does not work. He is a sick obsessive STALKER.

Hi Mark,
Yes, I believe the HOSTS file would be read for all accounts. And, yes
again, a HOSTS file read only during boot-up *would* indeed be useless.

It is read on boot. It is interpreted as needed and is read prior to performing a DNS
query. It is not a per user file, it is a OS file taken from NFS and standard TCP/IP
configuration.
I'm glad you mention the MVP Hosts file.

Names" (FQDNs) to IP addresses. It was *the* original DNS system, before the
DNS system was designed, and deployed.
I still use my 'hosts' file primarily for its intended purpose. On my LAN, I
set up pseudo-static IP addresses (based on my router), and map the device
names to the IP addresses.
The 'hosts' file is "global" in effect; and, yes, it is read on system boot,
along with other networking apps.
