    Set hosts perms with .bat file help needed

    I have made a .bat file which will help me control the activities of Internet Explorer on my computer for all accounts present on it. For example, I want to set techarena.in as the homepage on internet explorer for all accounts, then it will be so. I made the.bat file and ran it on my home computer. It worked fine. But when I ran same file on office PC, nothing happened. Both the computers work on Windows XP as its operating system, but still it failed. Can someone tell me why?

    I don’t think that there should be any problem with the bat file that worked properly once. Did you mess around with the code once you found it working properly? If yes, then it must be causing this problem. Another reason for this problem can be that you must be working in a guest account on your office PC. That is why Windows XP is not allowing you to run the bat file on it. You will have to run the bat file as a administrator to make it work properly.
