I just downloaded MAME (regular) 0.132 and XML Cheat Collection for MAME 0.132 [ZIP FORMAT - 1481K]. I used 7z to open the MAME file and then I unzipped the Cheat file. I left the cheat file in zip format and placed it in the MAME folder:

But when I run the MAME program and run a ROM and press TAB the cheat option is not in any of the options. I kinda new to this (as I am sure you can tell). Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you!
I feel like idiot for asking...

Re: I feel like idiot for asking...
That looks to be standard MAME commandline so you can enable cheats one of two ways
add -cheat to the commandline so type this to start space invaders with the cheat option enabled:-
mame -cheat invaders
or change cheat 0 to cheat 1 in the mame.ini file (this way you don't need to type in -cheat ether again). If you haven't got a mame.ini file to change, type this to make one:-
mame -cc
add -cheat to the commandline so type this to start space invaders with the cheat option enabled:-
mame -cheat invaders
or change cheat 0 to cheat 1 in the mame.ini file (this way you don't need to type in -cheat ether again). If you haven't got a mame.ini file to change, type this to make one:-
mame -cc

Open up a commandline (select Command Prompt in Program>Accesories or type 'cmd' in the Run [above the log off options in the START bar] ).
Navigate to your MAME folder by typing the drive letter followed by and using 'cd ..' to go up a level and 'cd foldername' to go down a level. Look at these pictures foe examples:-
REMEMBER this is for STANDARD commandline MAME, if you are using mameui or a similar build in frontend build this will not work as the mameui cheats checkbox takes precedence. Look here for MAMEUI http://cheat.retrogames.com/mameuitips.htm
