Can someone please tell me how to do the following? I am following the instructions but it doesn't tell me how to do the following "23.We now need to delete the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\HOSTS file." I don't know how to delete this. I am at the command prompt, but cant change directories to get to what it looks like, it stops at"\etc\"

The other option is to use windows explorer to navigate to that folder by right clicking on the start button.
