Hi,
System: Windows 8.1
Objective: Trying to edit Hosts file.
Preparation:
Cannot edit host file to save my changes with information provided from a site with above preparation.
Doing more web surfing, I discover Ownership is System and I need to change.
Did as site suggested to make myself, administrator, to have ownership and got "Unable to set new owner on Hosts. Access is denied".
Thank you for your help. So much hoop jumping to edit Hosts and still unable, what did I miss?. Again, tx for your help in advance.
