Hi there,
I've got a machine where I can not see the hosts file. I've selected "show
hidden files and folders" and taken the check mark out of both "hide
extensions for known file types" and "hide protected operating system
files".
Yet, when I go to rename the hosts.msn to just "hosts" it won't let me do it
saying there's a file by that name in there, yet I can't see it.
I can't get to over half the web pages on this machine and I can't get to
any of the online antivirus scanner sites.
So, I need to know how to access the hidden hosts file to be able to access
it to modify it.
Thanks,
Gordon
