First off, you need to start off by finding the HOSTS file. Its really buried so just be patient. First, go to your System root folder (the drive where Windows is installed, then the Windows folder). Then open the System32 folder, followed by the Drivers folder, then the Etc folder. Here you will find the HOSTS file, notice that it doesn't have a file extention.
To edit this file, double click it and select Notepad as the program to use to open. Once in, you can type the IP address followed by a space then the hosts name. You can even give it an alias, like a nickname for a site that you can type in the address bar and still bring up the site.
