Write-protection makes a device suitable for repairing virus-contaminated host computers without risk of infecting the USB flash drive itself. But at the same time, you can not use your pen drive after making it write protected by some one. You cannot copy files into the drive. You cannot do anything with it.

Here is the simple trick how to remove write protection from your USB pen drive:

Press Ctrl+r and type regedit.

Now navigate to the following registry in the registry editor

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

Now select storagedevicepolicies and now that will open a right pane.
