    Can't get permission to copy files to USB


    Hello,
    For some reason I cannot copy files from the internal hard drive to a USB pen drive.
    When I try to do this, I get the following message:
    "Destination Folder Access Denied
    You need permission to perform this action."
    Although, I can copy files from USB to my PC(except powerpoint presentations). I even tried formatting the USB, but it is still not working.

    Do you have admin rights? Is this a company computer?

    It is possibly a company policy restriction, best is to contact your IT division. They should be able to help you.
