WampServer

In the tray menu, we have shortcuts to apache and php config files, and the www directory. Is there a way to have a shortcut in there to point to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts ? Right now I just have a shortcut on my desktop, but thought it'd be nice if it was with the other shortcuts in the wamp tray menu. If there is not a way to add onto wamp's icon tray menu, do you think it'd be a good idea for a future wamp?

u can add it on the menu in c:/wamp/wampmanager.tpl



find the line for opening the httpd.conf file and copy it below it chaning the file path..



its not a bad idea but people have already built scripts that autpmatically add a line to the hosts file for each folder found in the www folder when wamp starts so its a lil behind that

Thanks a lot! It worked. I searched for "httpd", copied that line to the next line, and modified it a bit. Here is what I used if anyone else is curious:

Type: item; Caption: "Windows hosts file"; Glyph: 6; Action: run; FileName: "notepad.exe"; parameters:"C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"

Of course, you'll need to restart wamp or right click on the icon and click "refresh".

Note that if you were under Vista, this solution doesn't work, because you need to execute notepad with admin privileges...
