Editing host file
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, feel free to move if needed :)
I am trying to edit the host file but keep getting access denied even though I am admin. I did a search online and have tried everything that was suggested, I have tried opening notepad by right clicking and 'run as admin'. I have unchecked the read only box in the properties of the host file. I have now run out of ideas. Has anyone else had any problems and may know how to fix it? Thanks. |

Drag the file to your desktop, edit it there then drag it back.

Editing File Properties Hi Guys, A little more help please! I have just received a number of .avi files which are unhelpfully named e.g. tgi.avi. In Media Player v12 I have added an appropriate title e.g. The Government Inspector - by adding media information manually and I have forced the Player to update the file.... |

Which host file to use? This is my first time with a 64 bit OS. I usually have to use the Hosts file to resolve my DNS on my XP machine. Do I use the hosts file in the same location that XP 32bit was for Win 7 64bit (windows\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts)? Or, is there another hosts file location that 64bit OS uses? |
