RE: Permissions for USB flash drive

[Charlie]

I have never had trouble "installing" a USB flash drive as a regular user.
They should be able to just plug it in and have it show up as a drive in
Explorer.
I get the same behavior in Vista.

data

If I were your company IT person, you would NOT be able to stick personally
owned USB thumb drives in any company computer UNLESS the company had that
policy.
