# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#   127.0.0.1       localhost
#   ::1             localhost

  1. Click on Start Button
  2. Rt. click on 'Notepad'
  3. Click "Run As Administrator"
  4. Click "Continue" on the prompt
  5. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ using Notepad's 'Open' location option.
  6. Select 'all files' and then choose the 'hosts' file. Make necessary changes and save!

An alternate to Notepad would be Hosts File Editor which is visual like Notepad but it offers a much nicer UI for editing host entries.
