Permission to remove USB flash drive
Hi all,
I've get a lab with 6 XP SP2 machines that are members of an AD domain. When user without admin rights (just about everybody) trys to use the "Remove hardware safely" function before unplugging a USB jump drive, they get a message that they don't have permissions to do so. I'd like to make a Group Policy change so they can follow the recommended procedure to remove their USB drives but I can't find the right setting. Can anyone help? Thanks, Mark |
