Prevent system slowdown due to large Host file

A large host file can slow down your system significantly as said in the introduction to Host files. This is mainly notable in W2000/XP. Windows 98 and ME are not affected. The problem can be solved by editing the Services Editor.
* Goto Start»Run type services.msc
* In the services editor scroll to “DNS Client”, Right-click and select: Properties
* From “Startup type” select: Manual, or Disabled (recommended) click Apply/Ok and restart.
However, Microsoft claims that “The overall performance of the client computer decreases and the network traffic for DNS queries increases if the DNS resolver cache is deactivated.
