3. Now navigate to the following address:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
4. If you are a window 7 user,  then you will need to add a new folder here, right click on the pane > new > key and name it StorageDevicePolicies



5.Open the StorageDevicePolicies by clicking on it then right click on the plane >> New > DWord (32 bit)>> rename it  WriteProtect . Modify it’s value to 1 to enable write protect .
