Win8 system under the hosts file modification can not save how to set

Since the introduction of Win8, many users have installed their own computers with Win8 system. At this time, we have to browse some foreign websites and often encounter modifications to the hosts, but found that they cannot be saved. This is a headache for many users. Modifying the hosts has become an indispensable thing, so how to solve the problem that the hosts file can not be saved under the Win8 system?

The real reason for not saving is that this file does not have write access to the normal user (users group). Our so-called "administrator account" is usually a normal user. It will only be promoted to administrator privileges when the UAC interface is popped up, or when the program is run as "administrator", which is basically equivalent to installing under the mac system. The software needs to enter a password. This time it is the real administrator. When using the software, it is usually users.

1, the hosts file in Windows8 does not give users permission to write, then we add it.

2, right-host file attributes. At the same time we see that deleting and renaming this file requires elevated privileges.

3, the selected user group users we want to modify the "security" on one page. Next we need to modify the permissions of this file for users, click Edit.

4, in the dialog box, select the users group, you can see a miserable read, read and execute permissions to two.

5, the "full control" of allowing the check, write, modify automatically checked, OK.

6, then you will be prompted this action will reduce the security and so on, click "Yes" to continue.

In this way, the hosts file can be modified and saved. If you don't feel comfortable, this will bring security problems. After the modification, you can change it back as it is, leaving only "read", "read and execute". can.

The above is a solution that cannot be saved after the hosts file is modified under Win8. Users who encounter similar problems can follow the above methods to set up and master the countermeasures to solve it, so that our Hosts file can be saved.
