Right Click on the Drive, go to Properties., then click the Security tab, you should be able to modify the rights for other users so that they can only read (and possibly execute) whats on the drive.

Hi oem7110, You can follow the below steps and check if you get the security tab. Do login as administrator to make the required permission changes -1. Click Start and in the start menu go to computer.2. Now in the new window that opens, you will get the USB drive listed as removable device.3. You can right click on the drive listed here and check for the security tab. Now you can modify the rights for the various users. You may also refer to the below provided links for changing the permissions -http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/What-to-know-before-applying-permissions-to-a-file-or-folder http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/File-sharing-essentials Hope this helps.Thanks,Meghmala – Microsoft SupportVisit ourMicrosoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think
