Yes, Win9x has a HOSTS file. The problem you've run into is that a

A shortcut is handled by the desktop (Explorer.exe) instead of the file system. Doesn't make sense, but did that anyway. Reboot Windows in case it cashes HOSTS in memory. Still have no difference in the same web site I use for these tests.
