Susan is absolutely right, don't get too excited about that reg hack, it
only impact's Microsoft's USB driver. If the device is not USB, or if it
uses a different driver that setting will have no effect.

Create new key
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies and then 
create REG_DWORD called WriteProtect and set to 1.  This will prevent 
write only (not read) in XP SP2 only.
