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

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?
