RE: removing write protection

I had problems copying things to my flash drive on my computers and I did this and it worked. This should work for you.

to remove write protection Open regedit and go to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

find the value WriteProtect and double click to edit it's data and set it to 0.
