Edit to "hosts" file


Recommended Posts

I'm having a problem saving an edit I need to do to the "hosts" file in "windows/system32/drivers/etc"

It's complaining about the fact I don't have permission to save the edit although i'm using the only profile i.e Administrator and i'm just not sure what i'm doing wrong. :huh:

whenever i mess with the host file i make a copy, modify that one, then replace by copy/paste (prob. should backup orig)

Awesome, yeah that worked. By doing it that way it brings up a box asking me to confirm administrator acknowledgement. :)
