I have a shortcut to my HOSTS file on my desktop for ease of access because I edit it regularly.
However, little mischievous people may go into this if I am not on my computer and be a pain. Therefore, I want a way of protecting it from opening up in it's main application.
I don't really need it to be sophisticated, it is not to prevent hackers etc, it is merely to stop people having instant access to it from my desktop.
I doubt there is any built-in feature of windows, therefore what third-party applications can do this?
