Corrine:
Unless you use WinPatrol, if you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 it is necessary to go through the following steps in order to edit the HOSTS file:  


* Click Start
* Click All Programs
* Click Accessories
* Right-click Notepad, and then click Run as administrator, accepting the UAC prompt.
* Navigate to the HOSTS file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. right-click and select to open with Notepad.
With WinPatrol, it is much easier to edit the HOSTS File, regardless of your operating system.  Just follow the following steps:


* Right-click on Scotty in the system tray to launch WinPatrol, selecting "Options".  Windows Vista and Windows 7 Users: Accept any UAC Prompts
* Click "View HOSTS file", which will launch the HOSTS file in Notepad
