Hi, I've got a Maxfield G-Flash NG 2gb MP3 player, up until now it was great, but I can't change the songs any more as when I try to delete them I get the message "Remove Write-Protection". I looked around online & can't find out how to do this.
- Start > Run > type ?regedit? (without the speachmarks) > Enter
- Single-click on ?My Computer? > File > Export > save it to the Desktop (Always best to have a backup!!)
- Go to the following:
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDeviceP olicies
*There seems to be some spaces here in 'StorageDevicePolicies' in the text above, there shouldn't be, OK*
- Double click on the string ?WriteProtect? and change the ?Value Data? box to ?0?
- Then: File > Export > save somewhere useful as something like ?StorageDevicePolicies001.reg?
- You also need to do this for the strings in any folders called ?ControlSet***? (* = any Digit, i.e. 001, 002) ? for example: Everything is the same, just change ?CurrentControlSet? to ?ControlSet***?
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\StorageDevicePolic ies
*There seems to be some spaces here in 'StorageDevicePolicies' in the text above, there shouldn't be, OK*
- Save these to the same place as before as ?StorageDevicePolicies00*?
The saves are in case it reverts at a later date, just double click (saying ?yes? to importing these to the registry) on all of the files and it will all work again!
But that got me nowhere as I couldn't find the StorageDevicePolicies anywhere. I tried this on my sons Laptop too (he has Vista) but no joy.
