Since you do not need one, it is not a poblem so don't worry about it.

The default hosts file has only one entry:

127.0.0.1 localhost


So, just create a simple text file with that one line and you'll be all
set. Of course, any custom entries you or your applications may have
created have alresdy been lost.

Create a new one with any text editor, make the Properties Read Only
when you are done.

This is the contents of the default host file you can copy/paste into
your replacement:



# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host
name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

Windows will create new, default HOSTS file if it's needed.
