    Windows 8 Command Prompt & Commands, PRO? Windows 8

    I think I managed to do the stuff on that video, an then I had to use the following link to scan the usb drive, and then I was able to format it and save my files on it. Normally I would have just bought a new drive but it's the end of the month and I get paid Monday. I wonder why all the...

    I have tried to use a restore point and restore this pc to that point. It was unsuccessful. Will try a previous point.

    Windows 8 Command Prompt & Commands, PRO? Windows 8

    Hi again. I'm still not really too familiar with how to navigate this forum. I did use the link you just gave me. It is instructions for Win 7, and this pc has Win 8. In Programs there is no such thing as an Accessories folder. And again, as in previous things you have had me try, the...

    Yes, and I found that info on this link: http://www.ehow.com/how_6560745_remove-write-protected-regular-files.html I was able to do this with the files on the pc, but not the files on the thumb drive. And the thumb drive's file system is currently NTFS. I will try to format it with fat ...

    Now, I see that the write protected files were saved on the usb drive. That is what is keeping me from being able to re-format. I need to know how to remove the write protect from those files before I can reformat.

    Well, I am back again to let you know I did discover that it was that same key. Anyway, as I said, I believe that when I try to save a write protected file to the usb drive, that toggles it automatically to protected. At that point I can no longer add any files to the device. I will do what...

    Well, I did what you suggested. But first I finished that regedit that I was doing. I am figuring it out that what causes the thumb drive to become write protected is if there is ever a write protected file I am trying to save on it, that makes the thumb drive write protected. Now I have...

    Yes. I am trying to get my thumb drive off of being write protected. I was able to do everything in regedit except that last part... when I tried to change the word default as per the video, the option of renaming it was grayed out. I'm trying to find out how I can gain permission (as...

    I was trying to implement a suggestion from a forum and was unable to find Accessories or Command Prompt. Did a search and found the executable file in System 32. Got into command or dos mode.... and kept getting error messages that the commands were not recognized. Then it seemed to tell me...
