Thanks, Henrik. This worked fine - of course. I'm still getting used to all of the changes from XP to 7.

You should start the editor in administration mode, find the editor program right click on it and select 'Run in administation mode'

I'd say try dragging it onto your Desktop, changing it and dragging it

Subject: Hosts File and Win7

I got a new Windows 7 PC a couple of months ago. Finally got around
to trying to plug in an IP address so I could just type in JERRY for a
site, rather than have to remember the IP address.



However, Windows is telling me that "Access Denied" when I try to save
the changes to the c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file. I am
the only user of this PC (it sits in my living room), and I am the
Administrator for it.



So, what gives? Is the Hosts file that I need to change located
somewhere else?
