One need NOT go through all of that!

Right click on the notepad icon,

[I keep mine right in the TaskBar since I use notepad frequently.]

When the dropdown menu appears, Right-Click "NotePad",

Then, Left Click on "Run as administrator",

When the "Do you want to allow....." message pops up, Click on the "YES."

A blank NotePad will Appear.

On the upper left side Click on [File],

Then, Click on [Open] inside the dropdown menu.

A new blank window will appear where you will tell it what and where to "open."

Ultimately, You want to open the following:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\

The host file is a hidden file. To unhide it, follow the procedure on the next line:

Once you are in "/etc/" then, Change the "Text documents (.txt)" within the bottom-right corner of the page to "All files (*.*)

Now, click on the "host" file.

Be extremely careful because this is a System file!

Make sure that you opened the first notepad as "Administrator!" You will not be allowed to change or add anything to the 'host' file unless you do!

Fter you delete lines or add lines, just click [x], close the file.

If all is OK the host file will close and save the changes on it's own.

Good luck.
