I am using a laptop, Dell630, Window XP. As my company policy, the computer is running a daemon program to lock the USB port. the USB device can only be read, can not be write. So I want to make it also write able. Any idea of how to make it the USB writeable?

thanks

No. No. No.

Company policy is company policy whether you like it or not. If you need it, talk to your manager and go through the official channels.

+1. The questioner needs to ask him-/her-self if the potential disciplinary action is worth being able to write to a USB device from that machine for. – David Spillett Sep 11 '10 at 20:37
