For instance I'd like to edit the 'hosts' file.
I'm using Akelpad 4.5.6 on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit.
Can't open files in c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

I'm in the process of upgrading to 64-bit Windows 7 (from XP) and am having this exact same problem. Even using the 64-bit version of AkelPad 4.6.4, I can't open the Hosts files or anything else in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc folder. I don't think it's an issue with permissions, as I can still open the Hosts file in Notepad and WordPad. Is there another solution?
