Kingston Data Traveller readonly in user account

Win XP Home SP3

I have a Kingston Data Traveller USB Flash drive, which is read only in
a user account, and behaves normally in an Admin Account

I have tried the Attrib command attrib -r X:*.* which works fine in
Admin but two files are blocked from having the attrib changed in a user
account - a program shortcut and an ico file for the drive.

The ico file for the drive also says in file properties (user account)
that it was created in another computer and has been blocked. The
unblock option appears to work but doesn't actually change anything in
the user account.

If I create a simple Notepad file and try to save it to the drive, in a
user account, I get an error message - Save File - "Cannot access this
file. Check security privileges over the network drive"

I think this has happened following a Windows update but can't find the
exact problem after googling, particularly because the drive behaves
normally in an Admin account. So I think it is a Windows issue to do
with "permissions" setting rather than a drive problem. (The drive was
recently re-formatted) - but I can't find out what I need to change from
an Admin account.

Any suggestions welcome. thanks in advance.
