title: Can't edit the host file
body: <p>I've been trying to edit my host file for a while now and I keep failing.
  I tried to open notepad as administrator and then click <strong>File --> Open</strong> and choosing the host file but I get this error message:</p>
  
  <p><strong>hosts</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>You don't have permission to open this file.</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I tried notepad++ as well (as administrator) but I couldn't even get to the file with it (it doesn't show the <em>etc</em> folder in <em>drivers</em>).
  I also tried to check my "<em>User Account Control Settings</em>" but it was already on the lowest level (never notify).
  While looking online for a solution I've noticed more people having the same problem but I couldn't find a solution that worked for me.</p>
  
  <p>I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit</p>
