> This "shortcut" method (which is almost exactly what we already used for
> opening an admin command prompt) worked the very first time, but is there
> an easier way to edit the hosts file?
>
> Rightclick in any folder (e.g., the Desktop) > New > Shortcut
> Type a location of "cmd" (or "cmd.exe") sans quotes
> Click Next Type an optional "name" (e.g., "Edit the hosts file")
> Click Finish
>
> Rightclick the new Shortcut > Properties Change the Shortcut Target from:
> C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
> Change the Shortcut Target to:
> C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K "notepad 
> C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts"
>
> Optionally change the "Start in" directory from:
> C:\WINDOWS\system32
> Optionally change the "Start in" directory to:

> Press the Advanced button
> Check [x]Run as Administrator
