O. T. Malwarebytes issue:

[Paul]

I tried to do this but when I right click on
CMD.exe it doesn't give the option to run as
administrator. I found the regedit and right
clicked on it but it doesn't have the 'run as'
option.

One thing I read, says that a "limited user" account
does not have the "Run as Administrator" option. But normally,
your account would be a member of Administrator group,
so that probably isn't it.

This tutorial is full of ideas. You could try Option 5,
and elevate an application using the Compatibility settings.
Yes, it's for Windows 8, but some of the ideas should work
in Windows 7 too.

Actually, Option 5 is the same, in the sevenforums tutorial.

Try holding down the shift key before right-clicking the file.

No not always now days

The ones I've gotten lately contain a program which starts to run as
soon as I insert it. That is really aggravating. I dont want that
software. After fighting to stop the installation, I just open
Partition Magic, and reformat them. That gets rid of that annoying
software. I believe some are also formatted for Mac.

You can turn off autorun, for various devices (CDs, USB, ...), so you
don't have to fight the installer.

(Certainly reformatting will do the trick, though just deleting will
normally suffice. Of course, if you want them formatted differently
anyway, ...)
