Save the hosts file as administrator - does not allow me to do

Windows 7 just got my new computer with her charge went to update the hosts with the IP address but said files I don't have permission, but I am logged in as administrator - suggestions

Open Notepad high. To do this, type "Notepad.exe" in the search box of the start menu. Right-click on the Notepad.exe (from search results), and choose "Run as Administrator". Open the HOSTS file. You should be able to write for her now. Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Desktop Experience]

  • I am administrator but I can not edit and save the host file, it says: need administrator permissions, but I and the administrator?

    He always tells me that I need to have administrator permissions to do things I have to do, but it shows my id as an administrator.  The comments say there is a way to change so I am logged in as an administrator and not as standard users, but I don't seem to be able to do.  Please give VERY detailed instructions.  I need to add an ip address to my host file to test something and I can't seem to manage it.

    Try this:
    1 log in under an administrator account.
    2 disable UAC *.
    3 edit the file.
    4 turn on UAC.

    AFAIR you could also change with an admin account when starting mode safe.

    * = UAC user account control. Click Start, click Help, then search for help on UAC to see how toggle.

  • Why to the can't 'Shared VMs' does not allow to share folders with the host and why the copy/paste does not work on them? :-((

    I want to put in place a "build mini-server' for our team. Since VMware Player is not taken in charge more I had to use VMware Workstation, and with some success, I put things up. But now more and more surface of trouble!

    To enable auto-start for the virtual machines, they must obviously be "shared." But it looks like, with this, the nuisance that these virtual machines cannot share folders more with the host. And also, it seems that copy and paste does not work with these "shared VMs.

    Is there a work around to get these features also works with 'shared VMs?

    It is VERY annoying and tedious to always have to these VMs to shuttle between shared and non-shared mode just to be able to transfer data or new versions of code for them!

    Thank you for using the workstation. How to create a script with:

    WS t vmrun start "c:\my VMs\myVM.vmx".

  • Save the Image under and browse does not

    In fact, this started before the update to FF29.0.1 but has worsened since. When I right click on any image on any page I get the menu and the option "Save Image under" but when I click it I get a brief hourglass and then nothing happens. It used to be that if I restarted Firefox it work for a little while but now it won't work at all. Even with the navigation for a file. For example, I am currently looking for work so I need to include my CV much. When I click Browse on the web page to point to my RESUME, that nothing is happening and it is on all web pages. IE however works. What is annoying I HATE IE.

    What you should know. I'm still on Windows XP (could it be the cause?). I tried running safe mode, but also reset Firefox and the two issues has not changed.

    I have a work around for the picture number record via an add-on that I found, but the question ahead is still ongoing and VERY annoying. Help!

    Figured it out. Malware. I had a different question and I ran Malware bytes and now all my Firefox problems are solved. Should have thought of that in the first place.

  • When I use Firefox to watch the changes I make to the HTML files locally, it does not show changes made to images, unless I restart the browser. Is this a bug?

    I have the local and versions at distance of a page is open in two tabs. I change images (keeping the same name in the HTML code) and download the modified image. The tab that displays the remote page does a refresh to show the change. The tab showing the local page of do not. I tried to open it in a new window, but it still doesn't change. Only if I restart Firefox does show the change. Why? Is this a bug?

    Try using Ctrl-Shift-R or Ctrl-F5 to reload the page. This tells Firefox to reload all the content on the page, ignoring cached assets copies.

    I don't know why this is happening in the first place, although I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that the remote copy is loaded from a web server (including a bunch of headers allowing browsers to know when we need to get a new copy of an asset), while the local copy is loaded directly into the file system.
