+ Hostmanager will detect Windows guests and hosts and use the appropriate
98
+ path for the ``` hosts ``` file: ``` %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts ```
99
+
100
+ By default on a Windows host, the ``` hosts ``` file is not writable without
101
+ elevated privileges. If hostmanager detects that it cannot overwrite the file,
102
+ it will attempt to do so with elevated privileges, causing the
103
+ [ UAC] ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control ) prompt to appear.
104
+
105
+ ### UAC limitations
106
+
107
+ Due to limitations caused by UAC, cancelling out of the UAC prompt will not cause any
108
+ visible errors, however the ``` hosts ``` file will not be updated.
