I'm running a new Vista machine, and as Administrator, I want to edit
my hosts file, but when I complete the edit and try to save, I get: "C:
\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts was denied".
Here's the details:
When I set up the machine, I created only one account, ME, and a Guest
account was also created. If I go to the User Accounts panel, I see
that the only two accounts listed are, "ME-Administrator", and "Guest-
Turned off". So, I'm set up as the administrator.
If I do a "Properties" on the hosts file, and go to the "Security"
tab, I see three groups of users, who have the following permissions:
System-Full, Modify, Read and Execute, Read, Write
Administrator (VISTA_MACHINE\Administrators)-Full, Modify, Read and
Execute, Read, Write
Users (VISTA_MACHINE\Users)-Read and Execute, Read
According to the permissions that the system shows, above, I, as
Administrator, should be able to edit the hosts file. Why can't I?
Thanks.
