Windows7 will not let me edit the hosts file and save it

May 18, 2013 Computer
Windows7 will not let me edit the hosts file and save it

It’s a built-in safety feature.  There is an easy workaround.  ClickStart ->All Programs -> Accessories.  Right-clickNotepad, and then click Run as administrator.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or clickAllow or Yes.

Open the Hosts file (from the notepad you just opened) , make your changes, and then click File ->Save.

 

Enjoy
