title: What is hosts.ics file?
body: <p>Sometimes I use the hosts file (<code>C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts</code>), but unexpectedly now I have 2 files <em>hosts</em> and <em>hosts.ics</em>.
  <em>hosts</em> seems to be empty and <em>hosts.ics</em> looks like:</p>

  <p>Why has Windows (or other software) created <em>hosts.ics</em>? Where should I add hosts records? Can I remove <em>hosts.ics</em>?</p>
