    Specifically, opening the hosts file. The “etc” folder is hidden, so there is no way to open the file via notepad++'s “open” dialog. Other programs allow you to type in the location - I wish notepad++ would allow this

      Have a look at (menu) Settings -> Preferences... -> Default Directory -> Use new style dialog.
