Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm logged in as a local administrator, and am trying to edit the lmhosts.sam file... but when i open it, and try to type into it, it says that it's a read-only file... how do i get around this?? If i can't, how can i add in the information that i want to, should i just edit the hosts file instead??<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

Trying to edit lmhosts.sam in Vista and it's read-only...

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
