That admonishement reminded me that I should mention that the solution we
came up with for editing the hosts file using:
  Start > Run > hosts
  or
  Start > Programs > hosts
Does cause "Glasswire" to pop up a temporary notification that a system
file was changed, which is actually a good thing because it ensures me that
the change took place. 

The beauty of this method is that it doesn't clutter the desktop with
shortcuts, and it works in a single step from the Start menu (by multiple
ways) which is how I like an elegant clean efficient system to be.
