UltraEdit is the ideal text, HTML and hex editor, and an advanced PHP, Perl, Java and JavaScript editor for programmers. Patch the hosts file manually. Here's how to edit the hosts file in Mac OS X. I have changed the host file etc and used the following to clear the caches.
Hi, I have a work laptop that is admin locked down so I cannot add/remove/change software. Even the local hosts file I have to get elevated rights for to manage. Last week my work pc was Re-imaged and UltraEdit was downloaded by it support remotely.
Until this week I was editing my hosts with notepad / vi (I also use Cygwin) but once UltraEdit was installed I switched over (I did not have a configuration to important just set the look and feel of the UI) All seemed fine for a few hours until I got a Windows error the file was no longer there. After troubleshooting with it I was able to edit and keep hosts fine but each time I opened in UltraEdit and saved the file vanished.
I checked UltraEdit config and delete before save us not enabled and can't see anything else that could be causing this (config wise). The hosts file is special protected by Windows as you might know.
You need administrator rights to be able to edit it at all. As UltraEdit creates by default a copy of the file to edit in temporary files, it is always possible to load the hosts file and modify it.

But on save Windows protection becomes active and it depends on how the save is done. By default is enabled the creation of backup files in same directory as the edited file. The backup file is created by default by renaming the original file and then moving the modified temporary file to directory of the original file.
