in trouble

I have somehow messed up permissions and now cannot access c:drive and everything I try and change has access denied. There is no obvious administrator and I can only see log in as a owner.
This is a real problem as I cannot even move all my files to back up!
I have tried run as administrator but comes back with
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe 'the parameter is incorrect'
Can anyone help?

RE: in trouble

Hello Neyth,

Do a full scan with MalwaяeBytes and SUPERAntiSpywaяe.

*If* the file associations have been messed up due to the malware[s].

You won't be able to run anything that ends in .exe and, most likely,
...com nor .bat.

Tool to reset shell\open\command registry keys
<http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2004-050614-0532-99>

Use that .inf file instead of messing with the registry. It should
restore the ability for executables to run plus give you access to the
registry editor, run .bat files, etc.

For *no-charge* assistance in getting the system back in order strongly
suggest you contact MS:
