I have been trying to edit the Hosts file in Windows 7 x64 Ultimate but can't find it.  I know where it is for x86 and can easily edit that one, but for the life of me can't find it for x64.  Can anyone give me directions?  Thanks in advance.

If all is not lost, where is it?

    I'm running Win7 64-Bit Ultimate and my hosts file is located here.

    c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

    You're welcome. Yes, that is global. What you edit there affects IE 32-Bit and IE 64-Bit.
