Edit Hosts File in Windows 8 or 8.1 With Single Command

There are so many posts on internet to edit hosts file in Windows 8,1 but none of the method worked for me.

I found a very easy way to edit the hosts file

Please run Command Prompt with Administrator privileged & run following command

attrib -r %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

& that's it. Open the hosts file with your desired editor & change the file

Enjoy.....:)
