Check Removable Storage under Computer Management (Right
click on My Computer and Click Manage). Try removing them
from Device Manager (Click Start-Run-Type devmgmt.msc
and click OK). Then try this: Open regedit and navigate
to HKLM-System-CCS-Enum-USB
Now find your USB Flash drive and delete the Vid_Xxxx
folder that it exists under. Now reboot after you have
done this and see if that fixes anything.

I have the same type problem. I opened regedit, found the
folders, but Windows won't let me delete the folder. It
says "Cannot delete; error while deleting key". Do you
have any idea why it won't delete.
