I'm new to thinapp.
How do you make a thinapp'd web browser obey a virtualized hosts file? (located in the %SystemSystem%\drivers\etc folder)
a normally installed browser will obey Windows' hosts file, such that if you blacklist ip addresses in the hosts file, the browser will not properly load those websites.
However, a thinapp'd browser does not obey the embedded hosts file (in %SystemSystem%\drivers\etc folder).
It will instead follow the host computer's blank hosts file (in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc), so previously blacklisted ip addresses are no longer seen as blacklisted by the virtualized app.
Isn't thinapp like a tiny operating system, such that the virtualized application will look in the embedded %systemsystem% folder first?
Is this a folder isolation problem?
How do I force the browser to look at %SystemSystem%\drivers\etc\hosts instead of the computer's c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts?
I'm not looking for alternatives. I want it to work exactly like I discuss above. Is it possible?
thanks.
