Access denied on USB memory stick
I am facing a strange issue on my system. When I plug my usb device to the computer it does not allow me to move files. I cannot even cut paste some of the word documents from it. I am getting access denied error everytime when I try to connect or get something from it. I had tried to check the usb drive on other computer and it works fine on it. The problem lies only on my computer.

If you are not having any important data in the usb drive then better format it. It is the best way to fix the problem. The drive might lack a proper permission due to which it is not allowing you to move files. But if there is some data then you have to keep a backup. You said that it is working on other computer. Keep a backup of the same on other computer and then check back.
Access denied on USB memory stick resolved
My customer was having the same kind of issue. He is not able to use his memory stick. I had checked in msconfig. There is no 3rd party service available that can block the usage of usb drive. Later on I checked the drive in admin account and it started working properly.
I can only access usb through explorer
This is a plain virus issue. There is nothing you can do. The virus control the system and modifies the file permission. Usb drives are the most common to get infected. You can scan your system properly for infection and see whether it is fixed or not. Antivirus like QuickHeal are better in fixing this kind of issues.
Access denied on USB memory stick
I am facing a bit strange problem in my system. First I copied some videos in the drive. When I plug the drive it plays all videos automatically in Windows Media Player. I had given the drive to my friend who used it for backup. When he returned me the first error that I faced was access denied. I tried to add/remove the drive a number of time but still the problem lies the same. At last the system simply fails to detect it. There is no removable drive in My Computer. Nothing was detected. Any idea how this can be fixed.
Re: Access denied on USB memory stick
The symptom as stated above is a yellow folder instead of a drive symbol. The aim is to delete the autorun.inf file but in my case the suggestions above to change the attributes within a dos windows seemed to be blocked too.
So:
Right click on the folder
Go into explore
In the menu bar - Tools - Folder options
Click on the view tab
Check the "show hidden files and folders"
Uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" (? not necessary)
Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"
Then delete the autorun.inf file.

Many thanks. A friend put his stick in my computer and I have had problems ever since. This fixed 2 problems I was having.
