I was working on a client's PC and the host file got locked out somehow. It wasn't visible, even while showing hidden files. I could open it through the command line but wouldn't let me save it or edit it. Tried numerous things, scans, safemode, changing the attributes via command line, the whole nine yards. Only thing that worked was using this command. "CACLS hosts /p administrator:f" Then after that I was able to change the attributes and then edit the file back to normal.
