The file this post is referring to is there, but may not be enabled by 
default, as Windows System files are normally hidden.

While in the ETC folder, go to your tools menu, then up arrow to folder 
options and press enter.

Once in the dialog box to set folder options, control+tab to the view menu, 
then arrow down to the following and make sure to set them appropriately:

Display the contents of system folders.  Make sure this setting is set to 
on.

Show hidden files and folders.  Make sure this setting is set to on.

Hide Protected  operating system files.  Make sure this line is set to off.

Once these settings are changed, tab to the apply button, then shift+tab 
back to the ok button, and the file may now show up.

Remember that this file does not have an extension to it, and so Windows may 
not know what program to use to open it.

Don't make the mistake of opening one of the other host file names, as the 
post clearly says that the Hosts file it's referring to has no extension.

In any case, once you press enter on it, a dialog box will pop up asking you 
what program you wish to use to open the selected file.  If you land in a 
dialog box with a list of programs installed on your computer, skip the next 
paragraph and go directly to the paragraph following.

If a list of programs on your computer does not appear, and you see the 
line, "Use the web service to locate the appropriate program", uncheck that 
box by arrowing down to select the program from a list of programs on your 
computer and press enter.

In the proceeding dialog box, or if you landed here automatically and were 
not given the option to use the web service to search for the program, tab 
to the list of programs, though it should land you on the list of programs 
automatically and press the letter "N" for notepad.  Once selected, press 
the enter key, and the file will open up.

There shouldn't be too much information within that text file, but suffice 
it to say, press control+end to go to the bottom of the text file, and paste 
in the information in the post.

Make sure to save the text file with control+S before you close the text 
file, or the settings will not take effect.

Hope this helps.
