USB thumb drive read only

[Guest Invicta]

Hi

 

I have Vista Ultimate SP1. I seem to have locked myself out from writing to

USD thumb drives.

 

I have tried several USB thumb drives in different USB ports. When I try to

create a new file or erase a file I get "Access denied" messages.

 

This happens with a general user account, admin account both in normal and

safemode.

 

I did have a try using gpedit.msc and under Comuter Configuration >

Administrative Templates > System > Removal Storage Access had set Removable

Disks to deny write access.

 

I have now reset this to Not Configure but I am still unable to write to the

USB drives.

 

Do I need to do something else to regain write access?

 

Many thanks
