Note that browsing within ConTEXT using File.. Open.. the etc folder was not 
even showing within the drivers folder. adding \etc to the path opened the 
folder but the error appeared trying to open any files within.

Same effect running ConTEXT as administrator using right click "run as 
administrator" on the exe.

Also seeing this behavior. Specifically: it appears to be related to Privilege 
Elevation not being handled correctly. Notepad is able to open the hosts file 
just fine provided you right-click and choose "Run as Administrator...", but 
this same technique does not work with ConTEXT.
