Editing the host file in Vista

Nothing like a good bit of Host file editing to while away the Tuesday afternoon, except I couldn't save the file in notepad.  A quick Live Search later and I found this excellent post by Tim which walks you through the steps very nicely.  Of course I forgot to open Notepad with Administrator privileges - what a school boy error!  Vista was never going to let me change system files like that without jumping through the security hoops of UAC - nice to know it was there.
