Creating a bat file

[LonePirate]

I want to create a bat file with all of google's domains added to my hostsfile but not sure how to do it?
I found one online, but it doesn't work on my w7 x64 laptop???

here's the bat file in question

[sedative]

Here is a simple solution for u:

 

^{ATTRIB -r %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
@ECHO OFF
IF "%OS%"=="Windows_NT" (
SET HOSTFILE=%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
) ELSE (
SET HOSTFILE=%windir%\hosts
)
FIND /C /I "the adress u want to block" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %NEWLINE%^127.0.0.1       again the adress u want to block>>%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts}

 

^{ATTRIB +r %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
IPCONFIG -flushdns
CLS
PAUSE}

Can you tell me if the bat file I posted works? I need it to re-direct to google safe search for parental control reasons

 

safesearch hosts.bat

safesearch hosts.bat

Works fine

 

you might want to consider backuping up the original, and unhiding (a lot of people make their hosts file read-only and hidden for security) and rehiding it after processing

 

From my setupcomplete.cmd file i use in deployment (i backup the original hosts and replace it with my custom one with a lot of telemetry blocking)

 

 

Quote

start /wait cmd /c copy %WinDir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts %WinDir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.orig
start /wait cmd /c attrib -r -h %WinDir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
start /wait cmd /c copy "%CDROM%\extra\hosts"  %WinDir%\System32\drivers\etc\
start /wait cmd /c attrib +r +h %WinDir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

 

You might wish to use:

 

Quote

 

start /wait cmd /c copy %WinDir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts %WinDir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.orig
start /wait cmd /c attrib -r -h %WinDir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

 

 

 

 

at the beginning of your batch

 

and

 

Quote

start /wait cmd /c attrib +r +h %WinDir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

 

at the end

Why wouldn't it work on my laptop? I ran it as admin but my hosts wasn't changed. Could you possibly copy the hosts entries that the bat created and share it?

Your hosts file may be hidden and read-only, that would stop it creating the entries, which is why i suggested what i did above....
