I downloaded the mvps file for blocking sites through the host file. (127.0.0.1) I need to add sited to it but it won%26#039;t allow me to save them. If I do save them it changes the host file into a text file. What do I do?
Adding to the blocked sited on host file?

You have to be logged on as an administrator in order to change the hosts file. It%26#039;s a System file that needs to be protected from just anyone making changes since it is the first place Windows looks when doing an DNS address lookup.
Log on as an administrator and you won%26#039;t have any problem adding the MVPS host file to your existing host file. Also, change your extension from .txt to %26quot;All files%26quot; in the drop down list and it won%26#039;t save it as a .txt file.
