Hi. Trying to locate the exact policy setting that would
cause a user to not be able to use the "Unplug or Eject
Hardware" tool in the Systray. Trying results in "This
operation has be cancelled due to restrictions in effect
on this computer." For some reason, our MIS department
doesn't know how to remove this setting and we need our
students to be able to remove removable flash media
devices from the USB ports without having to shut down the
system.
Please respond to the email address.
Thanks.
 
There is a user right assignment that may work. Test it out on one computer. In the
Local Security Policy go to security settings/local policies/user rights assignments
and add the user to the load and unload device driver user right. Reboot the computer
and see if it helps. --- Steve
