Hi! I am running a Windows 7 operating system. I would like to edit a data file named "hosts" that is found in the following library: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts The OS does not allow changes, and I do not know how to acquire administrator's power to be able to make the change. In addition, which program can edit such a file (a built-in text editor or an external one)?
