Mac does not allow me to run my USB

[gilbert1020]

I have a 1 GB Geek Squad Memory Stick.
When i plug it into my macbook and try to run it,
i click on the Launch.exe but it says no default application to open document.
I know mac doesnt do exe files how do i change it?
because it is not letting me see my files on the flash drive

why do you need to run a .exe to view your files on a usb pen drive?

why do you need to run a .exe to view your files on a usb pen drive?

Because in order to be able to view the files you have to launch the launch program to view the files.

well you cannot "change" .exe files to .dmg files. do you have an intel mac that you could install windows using bootcamp.

Then unless they make a Mac version of that program you can only use it on Windows. It's not storing the files as standard files on the filesystem: it's messing with them to prevent them showing up.

.exe = Windows Executable.. I would get to a friends Windows Machine and backup the files.... then reformat the memory stick to get rid of the software all together... Unless you need and or want the software.

considering how cheap usb sticks are, it's probably easier to just toss it and buy a generic one.

You might be able to re-format it with disk utility.
