METHOD #4

There are a series of options in the Group Policy Object Editor that deal with read/write
permissions on hard drives and removable media. I basically changed their individual settings
from “Not configured” to “Disabled”.

Start -> Run… -> gpedit.msc -> OK

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Removable Storage
Access

In here I disabled all of the “Deny read access/write access” options; you may only want to
disable the ones relating directly to the type of media that you want to access.

Here are the ones I changed:

Removable Disks: Deny execute access

Removable Disks: Deny read access
Removable Disks: Deny write access

Double-click each one and select the ‘Disabled‘ radio button.

Do the same as above, except the first step is “User Configuration” instead of “Computer
Configuration”

(Best result if you try both method #1 and method #4 together)

Enjoy!!!

All the methods mentioned are tested and they works well in my PC.
