    I want to block youtube, but do not have admin permission to edit, despite logging in as admin


    I want to block youtube.


    I have attempted to follow this process:


    1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

    2. Double-click hosts, and select Notepad when Windows prompts you to choose a program.

    3. Place the cursor at the end of the last line, which will say something such as “127.0.0.1 localhost” or “::1 localhost”. Press Enter to create a new line.

    4. Typed 127.0.0.1 www.youtube.com on this line.

    But when I attempt to save, i get the message C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.txt You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission.

    But I am logged in on the administrator account.

    What could be going on?

    :)

    Win7 User Admin permissions broken

    Basically it's an administrative user not the root admin , I don't know what it went wrong with settings and i forogot , but the permissions for it account were messed and now it cannot delete/edit sometimes stuff that came from rar or downloader or even installs, plus cannot uninstal most of programs , it's only possible with root admin (hidden), is there a way to restore these privilegies.

    Also the error points "You need administrative privilegies from Administrators/[Nickname] "
    BUT I AM THE DAMN USER !!!!

    It's not my PC so i really don't want to dig it up from scratch.


    The PC has RAID0 so basically im not going to go over that again with a reinstall/reformat. ... takes time.

    I want to block youtube, but do not have admin permission to edit, despite logging in as admin

    admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

    Hi guys,

    I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
    I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

    Any suggestions?

    EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.
