Hello all, what would disallow a usb thumb drive from being recognized at a user's XP PRO workstation? I can login as administrator and the usb drive works fine. but I log back in as regular user and no thumb drive recognized???
Is there anything that would block this by default? We have a windows 2003 server with XP PRO workstations.

Move them up to power user (or local admin).

Is the USB drive being detected in the device manager? If yes, then the problem could be Windows trying to assign a drive letter that's already in use by a mapped network drive.
Run Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) to change the drive letter. You should only need to make this chance once for the particular thumb drive.
