Windows 10: How to have user specific hosts file

Hello,In my company Admin rights are provided for very employees who really need them. But the "hosts" file under "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" is editable only by Administrators.Is there is any way to have a user specific hosts file which can be editable by Non-Admin users?Thank you.

Hosts file editing

I have to jump in and say I use, and have used the host file for years. It's an easy way to take stress off of old name servers. I don't add everything, but major shares I do add to the host file. I've used the host file for some tunneling as well. I try to optimize my network as much as possible and I have a solid network. But Easy Rhino is right as well, you'll want to have everything he suggested as well. *Toast :toast:

 

modifying hosts file for non admin users

I have edited the win8.1 hosts file successfully while logged in with admin rights

When I am logged in as admistrator, the entries to the host file work in the browser.

However, when I am logged in as a non admin user, the host entries do not work.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to provide the hosts file entries for non admin users?

Thanks in advance,

Beverly Howard

 

Windows Script Host

Hi Vito,

System file corruption is one of the possible reasons why you are receiving script host errors in Windows 10. To better assist you, we need the answers to the following questions:

• Are you receiving the error while working on a specific task?
• Did you make any changes on your computer prior to the issue?

In the meantime, we suggest that you create a new user account and see if the issue will occur while on a different user profile. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

• 
  Select the Start button, then select Settings
  > Accounts > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC.
  
• 
  Type a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.
  

We are looking forward to your response.
