How to change or update the host file?

When I installed WIn7, I created a user account that is an administrator based on user account information.

Now, I want to change the host file but it always respond that I have to use the administrator account to save the host file.  I tried to change the security in the prosperity of the host, but it does not allow me to do.

Appreciate someone can walk me through step by step.

Thank you very much

Open Notepad as administrator (right click on the Notepad shortcut and choose "Run as Administrator") then open and edit the HOST file using this instance of Notepad.  (Via the menu "open file of-->".)

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

    It is the way it works. Note that the link layer refers to the data control by its ID not physical class name. This means that if the name of the data control WS does not change, the existing page links continue to work. Then (as sad as it is right now), you will need to recreate the data control

    There are several ways to do so.  If you use the vCLI exposed the hosts file for editing, so you can download it to your PC for management, update the file and then upload it to your host - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/esx_3i_rcli/vifs.php.  You can also activate the Mode (local or SSH access) Tech support and edit the file/etc/hosts directly.

  • I need to change the host file in Windows\System32\drivers\etc but I get an error message telling me that I need administrator privileges to do this.

    I use Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop. I am logged in as Administrator group member why not I have permissions to modify the file (I need to add an IP address to the list)?

    I never had this problem when using XP, so why are administrator permissions so darn limited in Windows 7? And why does the system not recognize me as a member of the Administrators group? It's so frustrating.

    Windows 7 UAC (User Account Control) prevents rogue programs do things behind your back. Click Start / Help, then look for help on UAC learn more.

    To change your hosts file, follow these steps:
    1. Locate Notepad in your Start menu or in the System32 folder.
    2. Right-click.
    3. Left click run as administrator.
    4. Open the hosts file, edit and save it.

  • vCenter Server is a virtual machine, how can I update the host

    I have 2 guests in our environment, I have updated the host of the 2nd, but may not know how to upgrade the 1 host because vcenter server runs as a virtual machine on it. This has me thinking that I don't have the installation program as best as possible.

    Basically, we have 2 Guest boxes and a small box of DC. I don't really want to run vcenter on the dc area. What would be the best soltuong for our environment? Can I keep vcenter as a virtual machine? If Yes, how can I update the host it will run on?

    Thanks in advance everyone... Chris

    I was afraid of that say you that

    Well in this case you may need to update the host manually (see for example http://communities.vmware.com/people/vmroyale/blog/2011/09/15/updating-esxi-5--single-use-esxcli-how-to) even with the need to manually update the host on which vCenter Server is running, I would always run as a virtual machine. There is usually not that many updates.

  • Disabling update the configuration file without stopping the VI

    I would like to perform a function that when the new modules are added in the existing system of the public Service or hot swapping modules autour, the VI can update its configuration file. I don't want the VI to stop we will collect data 24/7.

    I use cFP2220 and two or three modules of different types. I have my work VI and it is fairly straightforward FP read.vi in a time loop. All data are stored in the database using the Labview database tool. My screws are hosted on the local PC, not on the controller. I'm using Labview 8.6.

    I guess I have to get the file configuration (iak), whenever new modules are added, the iak file can be changed (without MAX aperture). In any case, I would have the flexibility to run the VI continuous. I know there is a similar code here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3221and they get the configuration file in the ini file. But I don't know how it's done as I can save only the configuration file as a file iak for FP system.

    Another potential problem associated with that, I guess, is the database format. For now, I use a three column structure, i.e., DateStamp, value and ChannelID. In this case, if I want to add/remove/swap channels, I can just change the ID of the corresponding channel. What happens if I have a horizontal arrangement of the database, namely 10 columns corresponding to 10 sensors, would he be in trouble if I change channels modules?

    Thank you very much.

    There is a way to change the module and programmatically updated the IAK file without stopping the VI.  You will need to change the FP read.vi front right by with the constant e/s FieldPoint.  You will need to use the Open FP, FP create Tag, read FP, and close to the public Service.  The trick to this is that you must pre-create files IAK in MAX first.  The way to do is to set up your cart in a configuration and then find devices to MAX.  Then save the iak.  Then reorganize your bottom of basket to the next setting would have desired, then have MAX find devices and who save in a file different iak.  You will need to do this for each configuration you have.  Then, you need to place the code below when you want to Ministry the configuration file.  I have also included a screenshot of MAX that you can see what the strings are correlated with.

  • Corrected the host file corrupted, now showing 2 host files in XP

    I have a corrupt host file and 2 host files have now for some reason any. What to do to fix this?

    After explaining all this several times, here are some notes:

    The hosts file is a read-only file, hidden system.  It is just a text file that you can manipulate with WordPad, Notepad or any text editor.  Before you modify the hosts file, make a copy of the current in case you need to restore the original.

    The hosts file is (or should be) a file read-only, which means that if change you it, you will not be able to save the changes until you remove the read only attribute of the file.

    You may be able to create a new one or reset your hosts with Microsoft Help file:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972034 (this does work as expected the last time I tried).

    If you use the Fix It from Microsoft, you will have no hosts file when you're done (which is not necessarily a bad thing) so you can just read and follow the instructions to find out how to fix it yourself.

    Some third-party software analysis tools (like Spybot) may add entries to the hosts file on purpose to block your browser from loading WWW websites completely or block ads from certain sites WWW.  They claim to have a list of sites that most of the people want to block and insert them into your file hosts for you.  You can always delete the entries in the hosts file manually if you wish.

    Another good option to block ads sites is to use Firefox with the Adblock Plus extension (it is updated regularly with new sites).  If you use that combination, you don't have to worry about your hosts file and these two together really do a good job.

    Malware can also add entries in the host file to redirect the browser to another site than the one you really want to visit WWW.

    For example, if you try to browse to www.google.com, you can find yourself on a WWW site that is inappropriate or simply an advertisement for a product you never heard and do not want.  Your browser will always be redirected away from www.google.com until correct you the hosts file.

    The malware can also modify your hosts file to block your browser to go to Web sites where you might find a solution for how to remove the malicious software.  The malware sometimes knows what you're going to try to find and remove, so it will prevent you to do so.

    If your hosts file has been manipulated by malware, edit the hosts file does not remove the malware.  You will still need to scan your system with software tools to make sure that the malware has entirely disappeared.

    Malware analysis tools can also remove the malicious software and leave the bad entries in the hosts file.  Analytical tools cannot tell if the entries in the file hosts were made on purpose or by malware you still may need to edit the file hosts manually in case of redirection of the browser once the malware has been removed.

    Some analytical tools will report changes to the hosts as a suspect file and allow you to review the changes and allow you to decide whether the changes are appropriate, and to take action.

    Sometimes, analytical tools cannot tell if the entries in the hosts file have been put there by malicious software or you put there on purpose so cannot do not report any problems with the hosts file.  This does not mean that the hosts file has not been adjusted by malicious software.

    A hosts file is not required for your browser to operate.  If you suspect a problem with the hosts file, you can rename the hosts file and test your browsing without it.

    Always reboot your system and the navigation test after making changes to the hosts file.

    To manipulate the hosts file, you need to make hidden files not hidden and remove the attribute only read the hosts file.

    In Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

    Click on tools. Of files, display options.  In advanced settings, enable (check) the box option for:

    Display the hidden files and folders

    Click OK.

    The hosts file has also no extension (for example, .exe or .doc) and it may be useful to also see the file extensions for all files in
    the folder.  While you adjust the display of folder options, bring up the file extensions.

    Click on tools, Options, view.  In advanced settings, clear (uncheck) the box:

    Hide extensions of known file types

    Click OK.

    Now the hosts file must be visible and you can also see the file extensions.

    Make a copy of the current hosts file and name the copy something he can remember so that you can find it later and cancel
    any change if the changes don't work or things get worse.

    The host file is usually a single reading, so to change it, you must remove the read-only attribute:

    Make a right-click the hosts file, properties, uncheck the box that says:

    Read-only

    Click OK.

    Now you can edit the hosts file with a text editor (Notepad, Wordpad).  Be sure to save the hosts file after any changes.

    You will need to decide what is in your hosts file.  The default hosts file has only one entry (and a lot of comments) so if you think that the hosts file are the part of your question, you can remove all but the default entry and save the file.

    Always reboot your system and the navigation test after making changes to the hosts file.

    You should make hosts read-only folder again when you are finished making changes.  Obviously some programs or malware do not pay attention to the attributes of a file read-only, but it is advisable for the host file to be unalterable.

    If you want to, reverse explore changes to hide system files and extensions of known file types.

    If you think your hosts file is irretrievably, replace the contents with the default values of Windows.

    The default for Windows XP hosts file looks like this:

    # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
    #
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    #
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address must
    # be placed in the first column, followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    space #.
    #
    # In addition, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the name of the machine indicated by a symbol "#".
    #
    # For example:
    #
    # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
    # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    There are places on the Internet to download information to your hosts file which is based on what other people think your hosts file must block or allow for your Internet browsing.  Sometimes that works very well, but you now need to know more on the manipulation of the hosts file now so that you can decide what's best for your environment.

    Here's some additional reading on how to manipulate your hosts file:

  • How can I fix a corrupted Hosts file?

    McAfee technical support took control of my keyboard/mouse to download a update of their total Protection software. The update process has not completed because the download seems to hang due to some sort of network problem. In analyzing the problem, the person tech support tried to make changes and updated Hosts file, in vain. They then told me to contact Microsoft and tell them that the Hosts file has been altered, preventing them to update.

    Looks like a bunch of BS from McAfee.  My real suggestion is to drop it and go with a decent product - perhaps eSet or Avira or something in that sense.

    Click Start--> go in run and paste the following entry: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc

    3. press on enter
    4. click on Tools--> folder--> view options

    6. scroll down for 'show hidden files and folders' and remove the checkbox from "Hide protected files (recommended) operating system.
    7. click on 'yes '.
    8. click on 'Ok '.
    9. click on start--> go in run and paste the following entry: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
    If you * see the hosts file now, right-click on it and make sure that there is no check mark 'read only' and 'hidden' boxes... If they are verified, then remove the check.
    Note: you should not have to perform steps 1 through 8 to view the hosts file; the hosts file is visible even with these settings, the default value (for example, when files are hidden you should always see the hosts file), but you may have a spyware infection that has tried the hide and prevent changes in the host file (to prevent you from making corrections in the file which made spyware)
    assuming that you have made any customizations to this file, it should appear as the default value listed in this Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034
    If it looks not to the default file listed at this URL, then you can recreate the file by using the templates included in this document KB

    A system restore point contains the settings of the computer at that moment in time.

    It's the idea of system restore.
