Unwrite

"Hi
Is there a way to unwrite a USB. It says my USB is write protected…?"

I am thinking this would have been better if there was an extra word or two in there but the first thing I though of when I saw unwrite was to reply: "Press Delete". Then I realized it was a GPO we use at the office to control write access to removable devices for most employees. What makes this even better is this user in the last 2 weeks has come to me fully aware of this policy and asked me to put a file on flash drive for them.

Welcome

Every day I get asked about 20 questions that lead me to go home and grab my favorite bottle out of the closet and mix up a drink.  The other day when it happened five minutes after I got into the building I thought why not make something out of it.  So I present to you the questions that I get that I just don't understand.  I will try put some explanation if need since some of these require a little back story.  Enjoy and remember the next time you see your IT guy a the bar after work, buy him a beer.  I also want to say that if I work with you and your stuff ends up here please do not be offended it is all in good will.  This site is meant to be funny nothing more, I ask stupid questions about my car all the time and a lot of other things I don't understand.
