Hosts accidentally saved as a txt file

Hey guys! So while I just change my hosts file, I accidentally recorded as a Notepad .txt file. Is there anyway to change it back?

In general, I find the Notepad and right click, run as administrator when dealing with all the files in the folder %SYSTEMDIR%\System32\Drivers\Etc, but you are probably already aware of this.

When you save your Hosts file from Notepad , you will need to change the Save as: to all files (*. *) or Notepad will always try to fire a. TXT extension.

If you try to rename from an elevated command prompt, click Start or press the Windows key and type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter together. Acknowledge the UAC warning and provide credentials if requested. Open elevated command prompt window, you can issue the following command

Copy the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts.txt hosts

This should make a copy of your Hosts file without the. TXT extension. You can keep one with the. TXT extension as a backup or delete it.

  • Query output to a txt file

    Hi all

    I have a query which output must be saved in a .txt file. Each line contains a field with concatanated data. Now, it runs in a procedure on the database that uses utl_file functions to save the file on the server. In the calendar on the server runs a tast that verifies the file every 15 minutes one moves the files in this folder in a network directory that users can access. We are migrating to a new environment, and this solution is no longer an option.

    I have the opportunity to create a BI with CSV report as output or create an interactive report and let the user to download output to a CSV file. But then the data are surrounded by double quotes. If it's not ideal.

    The solution I am looking for is: the user gets a dialog box and choose the location where he wants to put the txt file. Then the output of the query is saved to this place as a .txt file. Is this possible in the APEX (APEX 4.0.2)? And if so, how does it work?

    But then the data are surrounded by double quotes. If it's not ideal.

    The reason why most system (not only apex) join the CSV fields using quotes is because it allows the data to have a comma which otherwise, to wrongly analyse data. The file would be completely unnecessary in this case.

    You can generate files of apex anyway you want
    See this post
    Choose any file name and extension, the appropriate mime type and write data using htp.p in according to your desire format it in your file. It is very different than utl_file in the way you generate data (except the mime headers)

  • FTP .txt file copied correctly the cRio

    I use the 'FTP Get File.vi"to retrieve a .txt file of my CRio, which is then copied on my host.  The file is a delimited data tab.  The file copied all the data a except that the copy has a blank line between each set of data.  These additional lines take me to read the incorrect lines when the file is read in my program later with the "reading a spreadsheet file.  These additional lines come  I checked the original on the cRio file transfer via MAX and these lines do not exist.  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?  Thank you

    If you look at the entries for the File.vi FTP Get, you will notice that there is one that says binary:

    By default, this is false, which means that it copies the data in an ASCII format.  Try a real constant of wiring to this entry.  It's the need for VxWorks and Windows use different end of windowing.  This difference is probably the reason that it is adding lines to it.

  • How to import a TXT file in my list of firewall rules?

    Good then I exported a list of firewall rules in a txt file. I then copied on some firewall rules. Then I saved the file txt and I wonder how I can re - import the txt file. Please note that I don't know of import policy...

    UH I thank you for responding, but apparently you misunderstood what I meant... When I go into windows firewall, there is an option to export the list of rules I want to know is how to re - import this list of rules in because there is no other choice... If so how do I do?

    Since I couldn't find a solution that I found something different that also works. I found a .bat file that you can put in the folder in which you want to block the program and it crashes all the exe files in this folder and all subfolders. You can even choose a fix before custom firewall rule... If any other person having this problem follow the instructions, I provide below:

    Instructions (found online modified by me)

    Create a .bat file, named "addfwrs.bat" without the quotes using italic text, then follow the additional instructions:

    off @echo
    REM FILE OF ORDERS CREATED BY CHARLES DE HAVILLAND 20/02/2012
    CLS
    If '%1 'is' ' GOTO: norulename
    RULENAME SET = %1

    Firewall Windows 7 works fine, but it's not easy to set up with several (very long) programs.
     
    I watched for centuries, trying to find a way to block several files .exe to Windows 7 only once; It seems that the only method was to create my own batch (windows script) file.
    I've added below for anyone to use / modify for their own purposes.
     
     
    Run the commands below (addfwrs.bat) file, will create inbound AND outbound firewall rules that block all .exe files in your chosen folder and subfolders to access internet.
    Very useful.
     
    To use:

    (1) place addfwrs.bat in the folder in which you want to block .exe programs (it crashes all the programs exe in no matter what subfolders if you can place it in a folder without any exe it blocks)
    exe in several subfolders both programs)

    (2) now run CMD as administrator.

    (3) copy the new directory (eg. c:\Programs Files (x 86) \YourProg\) where you put the addfwrs.bat file

    (4) paste it into the directory with "cd" CMD and a space before the directory (example: cd c:\Programs Files (x 86) \YourProg\) and press ENTER.

    (5) now run the batch file by typing: addfwrs.bat "rulename" example: addfwrs "BLOCK_PROGRAM_NAME_HERE".
    (Make sure there is no space in the rulename of the firewall rule, so use underscores as spaces.)

    N.B: It is important that you add a rulename firewall, so that you can identify the rules when adding to the firewall at a later date.

    (6) follow the information on the screen, he will advise you what rules he is creating.

    (7) check the Windows Firewall for new rules listed and you can then delete the addfwrs.bat file where you put it (it is necessary even if you can keep it somewhere for later).

    Quite.  Hope you find it useful, I certainly have!
    Enjoy!

    N.B: The new rules contained in the bosom of your firewall (In/Out rules), change as and when you need.

  • How can I stop Windows 7 open several instances of a .txt file in Notepad?

    If accidentally, I try to open a second instance of a .txt file in Notepad, I want Windows 7 to remember that another instance is already open.

    It was, in Windows XP, whenever you tried to accidentally open a second instance of a .txt file in Notepad, you would get a message that will tell you that another instance was already open. However, it seems that in Windows 7, you can have multiple instances of the same .txt file open in Notepad (without getting any notification). It is confusing because I tend to make changes to one of these instances given, and when I save one of these cases, I eventually overwrite the changes on other instances.

     
    How can I stop this from happening? I can't turn on a pop-up message in Windows 7 that reminds me that another instance is open? Can I change a setting in my Notepad file to prohibit the opening of multiple instances?
     

    Hello


    Opening of multiple instances of the same file in Notepad is by design.

  • Can BlackBerry 10 I create new simple text (TXT) file on 10 BB?

    Hello - I am using simple *. TXT files in the DropBox folder to create notes and sync with the computer in Linux (via DropBox).

    I can't find any method to create a new file to plain text (on sd card, dropbox,... file system folder). I can create document in the Docs To Go, but the document is saved as.doc (document ms).

    Edit and resave existing plain text (*.txt) files are pretty simple 'Docs To Go"(no problem).

    I don't see a way to do it. But I searched the text editor in BlackBerry World and got a lot of possibilities. Some look pretty good.

    ----------------

    Once you create a robots.txt like this:

    user-agent: ia_archive

    Disallow: /.

    (1) where do you put 'head labels? Do you need them?

    I would insert it in muse that looks like this

    < head >

    user-agent: ia_archive

    Disallow: /.

    < / head >

    or just put it anywhere inside the 'head' tag

    (2) put the robots.txt file in a folder?

    I've heard this, but it just doesn't seem right.

    (3) OK you have the

    -Properties Page

    -Metadata

    -HTML < head >

    Can I copy and paste my right robot.txt info in there? I don't think I can and make it work. According to the info I found (that I posted above), the robots.txt 'file' you 'place at the root of your remote site.

    (4) where is the 'root of my remote sit?

    How can I find that?

    I read other people having problems with this.

  • I need assistance with VMware Player Manifest.txt file

    I make a program of federal work with ITT Technical Institute study. Well, we have VMware Player installed on lab computers, and on a weekly basis, I have to empty the student accounts.  Well some student accounts I can't delete, I am logged in as the administrator of the Local Machine and when I try to remove most of the accounts I get the message saying that the manifest.txt file is "cannot delete manifest.txt.2: access denied."  Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. »

    and see that I have clear accounts because space is limited on these machines.  I was just wondering if any 1 can help me on how to remove this file, it would be greatly appreciated and if I have this post in the wrong section will be some 1 let me know?

    Thank you

    If the boot without failure for the administrator account and not be able to delete a file under the other user account or the account itself, there is something else wrong.

    First, I make sure that no VMware not associated with the process are running which must be in Mode safe and then I would take a look at the permissions on the file and, if necessary and or possible I would take possession in order to delete the file.  Otherwise issues that may could be corruption of the file system, in which case I would run chkdsk with the argument/f or if it's just that a file could / can be an area damaged the disk hard physics so you can test the physical hard drive with a diagnostic tool specific HARD drive manufacturing.

    Other options would be to try to remove the file from the Recovery Console by booting from the installation disc or Windows using a Linux Live OS like Slax.

    BTW is this topic on the host or guest?  If in a guest I just delete the virtual machine and replace it from a backup and if it is on the host computer, then this is not really a matter of VMware itself and it is more a problem of Windows Administration and must be treated accordingly from the point of view of the user account and or file system management regardless of the application that created the file and act accordingly.

  • Export form data to txt file

    I have created a form in LiveCycle. I need to have the data exported to a txt file. Previously, I've created a form in Word and it imported in LC. If this form has been filled out in Adobe and saved, I was able to export the data in a txt file. The form I'm working on now that I created in LC (instead of Word). When I fill the form in Adobe, save and then choose export to txt file, no data export. I have attached two forms: one that works (Unit_5_Preparate) and one that does not (assessment_template_test).

    Thank you!

    Hello

    It was a learning experience (no pun intended).

    If the LC Designer form is saved as 'static' then you will be able to export the data to a text file. If the form is saved as 'dynamic' then you won't be able to export to text file.

    See the file saved as static.

    Good luck
