Wups, i got long-winded, please skip to **, if you like, for my software recommendation to go wild on the Hosts file in safe environment. Well, one question might be 'Do any of the seasoned experts on this forum tweak their own systems to avoid having to click OK for program elevation prompts?' I'm guessing they don't and have good reasons that I'm not able to articulate responsibly.Ģ) choose your methods and software carefully. So, it looks like it has nothing to do with file permissions after all.ĮDIT 3: Why do I have to run certain things as an Admin if I have a Admin rights? What do I have to remove with NTLite to not have this problem?ġ) you gotta be sure you're not 'going commando', to borrow from user Code at RyanVM. Maybe that person made it not read only by removing the UAC with NTLite's previous version but that doesn't make sense. How do they do that? It looks like these same files made all this confusion since apparently the hosts.txt file is not read only by default and after they added the lines they set them as read only.ĮDIT 2: Forget it, I just unchecked the read only tribute (I don't know if I should've done that) and did some changes with notepad (without running it as an administrator) and it didn't ask me for a name for a new document. txt)? If not, how can I save the changes in the original hosts file without creating a new document? If they work, should I keep on doing changes in it and delete the original hosts file? There are files which do some changes in the original hosts file to block some website's access and don't create a new document. Will these new entries work or only the ones in the original hosts (the one which doesn't end in. But what I wanted was to do that without using programs.ĮDIT: I might have made a confusion after all with the hosts and hosts.txt files since if I'm not mistaken I added some lines into the first one after running it with notepad and after saving them it asked for a name (I didn't change the default one, hence the hosts.txt name) for a new document and after I selected the default one it created the mentioned hosts.txt file.
