Hi Everyone,
I have created a Local Account and assigned it Administrator rights. However whenever I go to change sensitive files I am presented with an 'Access Denied' message, here is an example of the message that I receive when attempting to add a host to Hosts.ini -
In addition to the account being set to Administrator (type) I have also made the group 'Administrators' the owners of the 'etc' folder, and assigned full control to this group!
Even with the above settings I am still unable to change the host entries in Hosts.ini!
If anybody knows how I can give myself the required access can you please share?
Kind Regards,
Davo
