Deleting host names

To delete a host name, select it in the HostName Commander main window and choose the Delete command, by clicking on the Delete button in the toolbar: , or by pressing the Del key. If the Confirm delete option has been enabled, you will be prompted to confirm that you indeed want to delete the host name. If you confirm the operation, the selected host name will be removed form the list.

If you select the IP address before choosing the Delete command, the selected IP address will; be deleted, as well as all host names listed under it.

If you have deleted a host name or IP address by mistake, you can restore the deleted item back using the Undo command. Note that only the last 25 changes can be reverted by the Undo command. Also, the Undo information gets refreshed when you restart HostName Commander, so all changes you've made would not be reversible after you have exited HostName Commander. We recommend to backup the current name host information in a separate file, before making extensive changes.

Note that if you want to temporarily stop Windows from using the information you have set up for a particular host name, you can simply deactivate it, instead of deleting it. This way, if you decide later on to start using that host name again, you would simply activate it back, without having to create it from scratch.
