Hello

After install docker (docker-toolbox) on my Windows 10, it adds some lines at the end of C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.hosts file and made it read-only.

I need to add some local hostnames for my projects, not related to docker; but cannot save it because not allow changes.

There is a way to change back write permissions to this file ?

I’m using Docker-Toolbox to solve some virtualbox issues with Hyper-V (hyper-v removed)
