Hosts

For some reason, I am unable to modify, rename, or replace my hosts file in XP. I get the error:

Access to C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts denied

This happens when logged on as a user and as the administrator, so I'm thinking that some program is using the file.

My solution was to boot into safe mode, login as administrator, and edit the file.
