Now the right-protection for USB drives
is enabled on your computer thus it would not be possible for anyone or
any program to add/delete the contents from your USB flash drive. Any
attempt to copy or download the files onto the USB drive will result
following error message:
"Remove the Write Protection or Use another Disk"

To revert and remove the write-protection, all you need to do is just change the Value data for WriteProtect (Step-5) from 1 back to 0. Now write access to all the USB devices is re-enabled.
