Default set up a domain in windowsxp

set up domain in Windows XP Hi

In "e-Start Your Web Store with Zen Cart" I read how you can set up a domain in windows XP
But Idon't understand very well what they mean in step 1 and 2

To set up a domain in Windows XP:
1. Edit the file C: \WINDOWS\system32\dr ivers\etc\hosts with a text editor. Change the drive letter ( C : )
to match your own computer setup.
2. Add the following lines to the end of the file.

127.0.0.1 www.example.com # For browser access
127.0.0.1 mail.example.com # For email access
127.0.0.1 example.com # For mercury mail server
(should I completely copy this block?)
3. Remember to save the contents of the file.

When I look for the file C: \WINDOWS\system32\dr ivers\etc\hosts , it says this
Nowhere can I find a reference to a drive as it is mentioned in step1.
Can anyone help me with this?

# Dit is een voorbeeld HOSTS-bestand dat wordt gebruikt door Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# Dit bestand bevat de toewijzingen van IP-adressen naar hostnamen. Elke vermelding
# moet op een afzonderlijke regel staan. Het IP-adres dient in de eerste kolom te worden
# geplaatst, gevolgd door de bijbehorende hostnaam. Het IP-adres en de hostnaam dienen
# gescheiden te zijn door ten minste één spatie.
#
# Daarnaast kunnen opmerkingen (zoals deze) worden toegevoegd op extra
# regels of gevolgd door de computernaam, voorafgegaan door een #.
#
# Bijvoorbeeld:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # bronserver
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x clienthost

127.0.0.1 localhost

They are referring to the "C:" in the address, not in the content of the file i.e C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
If you have Windows installed on drive D:, then you will need to edit D:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts instead.
