I can't edit the host file in windows 7

• Well if you still can't edit,make sure you are using your computer from "Administrator" account or you have the rights to access system files.
• If it still doesn't work (It didn't worked for me!) then right click on "Notepad" and select "Run As Administrator",now locate the host file by the path I've mentioned above,open the file in Notepad,edit and save it!This is actually what worked for me.

Caution: Don't try to edit the host file until you are really sure of what you are doing.
