I can't overwrite my hosts file in Windows 7.
I open Notepad as an administrator and open the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
) as an administrator.
96.44.181.245 www.Google.com
has been put in there along with a host of others. Whenever I remove it and try to overwrite the file, it will not let me. It says access denied even though I am doing it as an administrator.
Any ideas?
1that didnt work but thanks. in the end iu added the current user with full access right in security then renamed the file .bak recreated the original hosts file and saved it with out any extension then it started to work – ben950 – 2011-03-08T20:47:06.503
