Cannot open files on USB drives
When I insert a USB Flash Drive, it is recognized and assigned a Drive
Letter. however when I try to access (open) it to transfer or read files I get the message "This Operation Has Been Cancelled Due to Restrictions in Effect on This Computer. Please contact your system administrator" I have tried looking at every check box that I can find to no avail. Can anyone help?? OR point me to someone or a group that can? Thanks Mark -- No Spam |

Are you plugging the USB drive into your work computer (or a computer
that used to be a work computer)? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Wrangler wrote: When I insert a USB Flash Drive, it is recognized and assigned a Drive Letter. however when I try to access (open) it to transfer or read files I get the message "This Operation Has Been Cancelled Due to Restrictions in Effect on This Computer.

Thanks Mark Are you disconnecting the USB using the 'safely remove hardware' icon? I just recently started having issues with my thumb drive not showing up after unplugging it. I've done it for years, but have now been told both by MS and Dell that I have to use that tool. I do now, and everything works. PS. I got the ding dong too, telling me it was recognized, but in my case the drive never showed up. A bit different than your issue, but still, I ask the question as a stab in the dark. |

Thanks Mark Ran into a similar problem when my Motherboard died. Had a usb external drive. I did a clean install on my new machine but then couldn't access any of the files on my usb drive. Same as you describe. Go here or do a google search for "Taking ownership of a folder". http://mralan.blogspot.com/2005/04/h...of-folder.html There is an article on the Microsoft support site but I can't locate the url right now... Good luck..... |

It is a restriction set in the registry.
