have you tried using NTFS permissions?
Those are the ones I'm asking about. I want the HOSTS file to affect all
users, but only Administrators (me) to be able to view/edit it. When I look
under Security tab of file's Properties, I'm not sure who (I want minimum)
I should Add beyond Administrators and which of those boxes (assuming Full
Control for Administrators) I should check. All the generic explanations of
Read, Execute, etc. I've read are for geekier people than me. I need
something like "If you want, do this."
The reason I'm asking is I've had a HOSTS file for quite some time with
only Administrators listed under Security (thought that's all I needed to
secure it if no others were Added) and recently found out (to my dismay)
that nothing in it was getting blocked when other User's browsed the Web.
