How to get rid off Pendive Access Denied ?

Hi all,

   Today I am going to tell you all, how to enable the access for pen-drive or any (F) device plugged in to our laptop or system. Usually this scenario suits for working people, whose laptop/system is managed by system/network admin of that office or helpful for others if their system settings changed accidentally.

  Scenario: When you plug-in the pen-drive, it will show up in system with name but when you try to access it, you will get a window pop-up message saying., "Access Denied for (G)" or {whatever the name of the drive}.

   In some scenario, you may have access to pen-drive but read/write operation will not able to perform in it. If you do, it will give the warning that , "you do not have right to perform this operation".(or) "You will need to provide administrator permission to copy to this folder" .

When i try to copy an item to pendrive

To overcome this, you need to  change the following settings in your PC/Laptop.

1.    Press window + R in keyboard or type "RUN" in search box start menu.
2.    Then Type "gpedit.msc" in the 'open' textbox of run window.
3.    You will get a window called "Local Group Policy Editor" and expand the "Administrative Templates" folder in "computer configuration" (Left panel -top)
4.     From the folder items, scroll to "Removable storage access" and click on it. 

Note the items which has the access "enabled".

    5.  Just double click on the items and click disabled it.

Make it enable by clicking on the item.

      6. Do the same for  Deny Execute access, Deny  Right Access, Deny Write Access and      Deny    all    Access .

 By Enabling all the four, you will get the access to read,write and copy. You can do the same for DVD and other devices.

PS : The environment is windows 10. the same command for 7 and 8 also.
