Is there a local security policy setting or somesuch to allow limited user accounts to modify the contents of USB drives?

Currently I get an "Access denied" error, further saying "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

The Administrator account has no such obstacles.

Update: The problem is at least solvable by altering NTFS permissions (granting Full Control to Users), and therefore I'm losing hope that there is a more global solution.
