    unable to access data on usb keys or cds\dvds


    I am having a real problem with accessing data on anything other than the c: drive.
    The system registers that a usb key or cd\dvd has been inserted and even displays information on the drive.
    Problem is that when you try to open either with the autoplay - open to view files or the drive icon in my computer the message comes up

    Location is not accessible. Access denied.

    I have tried various keys and disks and all act the same

    Just tried safe mode and able to access without a problem.
    Have also now discovered that problem only exists if logged in as an administrator. A standard user can access with no problems.
