Change the permissions of usbstor.inf so users don't have access to it,
the usb ports will still work with mice, keyboards, etc and NOT mass
storage devices.

Subject: Re: Disabling USB mass storage
we are doing the same for the time being but now system come with USB
mouse and hence the problem. Is it possible to restrict by some means
this USB port to use only USB mouse?
Is there a tool or someway to detect all systems on the domain where USB
port is open? <As a cross-check and to be double sure>
Best regards,
Sanjiv

Why not just disable the USB in bios and set a password on the bios

Works for me all the time.

Martin,
Not sure of your specific requirements, but
there's a software title by the name of DeviceLock that works well.
It works well with all devices. The only drawback
is that if the user is a member of the Local Admin group, they
can alter the settings.

Just some more thoughts. Take Care !

Hi list,
Does anyone knows a way to disable USB mass
storage device in Win
XP? I need to disable using devices such as USB
flash drive, card
readers, etc.
Regards
