[TUT] How to edit "Hosts" file easily
Today, as I was trying to download Photoshop CS5. I realized that I can't edit my hosts file, as access was denied. So, I decided to create a little shoutcut that could help me edit the host file, while running the same file as an administrator.
1) Create a new "Shortcut" on your desktop,
2) Type the program you want the file to open in and the hosts file location - Then click next;
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
3) Type the name for the shortcut & click finish
4) Once completed, find the shortcut you created on the desktop, right click and run as administrator. You'll now be able to edit your hosts file with no hassles anytime you want!
