I wanted to edit the Hosts file to add something to it. I opened notepad++ and navigated to where it was and I couldn't see the etc directory in windows/system32/drivers/ with the file open in notepad++. I navigate in explorer and right click on hosts and edit with notepad++ and that works fine. Now I can navigate with windows notepad just fine. I asked a friend to try and it can see it fine and open it in notepad++. This is frustrating. I add some sites to it to block adware and spyware. I know my security suite can do this but I still double protect myself
I did do group policy edites like on this forum Tired of UAC & Security Prompts? Tell Windows that you're the admin! - Windows 8 General Discussion - Help and Discussion and here http://www.eightforums.com/system-s...e-windows-8-understand-you-administrator.html
I just would like to know why he can and I can't? I have turned uac off completely and did those 2 group policy edits. That is all I did.
Now I am not the greatest with all this stuff. I google what I need to figure out and then follow those steps.
