I have connected my Samsung Galaxy Mega phone to Windows 7 laptop. I could see my phone icon in 'My Computer' window.
When I click on the phone icon, it displays "You do not have permission to access this device".
What I have tried?
★ Phone → Settings → USB computer Connections → Media device → checked ☑
★ Phone → Settings → More → Developer Options → USB debugging → checked ☑
★ Laptop → Group policy editor → Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → System → Removable storage access → "Removable Disks: Deny read access" → disabled.
★ Laptop → Group policy editor → Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → System → Removable storage access → "All Removable Storage classes: Deny all access" → disabled.
Testing of the above settings:
- I have connected the external portable hard disk to my laptop. I can access all my files from the hard disk.
- I have connected my mobile to my laptop → "You do not have permission to access this device."
- I have connected my mobile to a different desktop. I am able to access phone media.
- I have installed Samsung Kies. Even this application is not able to access the mobile.
My Question:
How can access this Samsung mobile from my laptop?
Note:
I have admin access on my Windows 7 laptop.
My mobile uses Android version 4.3.
Kernel version 3.4.0-2493474
SE for Android status: Permissive

If you check, the phone appears under portable devices. So in group policy editor you should disable WPD Devices under Removable storage access.
Laptop → Group policy editor → Computer configuration → Administrative templates → System → Removable storage access → "WPD Device: Deny read access" → disabled
Laptop → Group policy editor → Computer configuration → Administrative templates → System → Removable storage access → "WPD Device: Deny write access" → disabled
