Editing your hosts file often? This may help:

Unfortunately my internal DNS server has packed up and I haven't got around to reconfiguring it, which has meant that I am now using the Windows HOSTS file more than I would like. Never mind.

Anyway, to save fiddling around with opening Notepad as administrator and then navigating to the file, How To Geek has got a very handy tutorial on how to setup a shortcut to take you straight there.

Can't believe I didn't think of that earlier. Oh, and it works in Windows 10 just as you'd expect.
