How to Disable "Access Denied"

[Brad]

Hi,

Since I have a dial-up connection, a friend of mine, who has DSL,
downloaded the free AVG version 8 (45.5MB) onto his Windows XP computer's HDD.

I went to his house, but I wasn't able to copy the file to my USB flash
("thumb") drive due to "Access Denied". Also, I couldn't copy
("Access Denied") a photo.jpg, he wanted me to have, from his HDD to the flash
drive. Note: He uses AVG anti-virus in his computer.

I realize this is protection, but he nor I knew how to disable this
"protection" on his computer in order to allow access.

How do you disable this "protection" to allow access?

Thanks in advance, Brad

Before you type your password, credit card number, etc.,
be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC.

Your question is equivalent to asking "How to prevent the
security system at the bank from restricting my access to
the safe?" The answer is - you can't, if you want to have
a security system! The question then becomes: How do I
get suitable authorisation to access the restricted folders?
This answer is simple: Create an account/password on the
other machine that matches your own logon account/password.
Make sure to use a non-blank password.

Is your USB Flash drive formatted with NTFS?
