How to edit hosts file on Windows Vista
Editing hosts file on Windows Vista requires administrator permissions, which means that it is not as straight forward as on Windows XP. Opening it under any account other than the administrator will not let you save it.
But this doesn’t mean that editing it is difficult. Just follow these steps:
1) Click on Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accesories
2) *Right* click on “Command prompt” icon and select “Run as administrator”. Accept any alerts from Windows Vista.
3) When the administrator command line opens, type these commands:
cd %windir%\system32\drivers\etc
notepad hosts
Now the notepad opens with the hosts file in it. You can edit and save the file normally.
