Rather than use hiderun32.exe, use something like getadmin.exe and
show your management what you can if you 1) bring in 4 GB of mal-ware
and 2) leave with 4 GB of their salary data to post on the web or in
the lunchroom on the bulletin board.

Hello Steve,
From my point of view, the only 100% secure way to reduce the risk of
usb is to disable the usb ports from bios. Any other suggestions are
welcome.
Regards,
Marios

Hi,
This is something we are very interested in at the moment. I have found
some software, from a firm called Generix, that looks as though it will
control the use but it is difficult to get managers to pay for it. They
seem to understand risks from floppy disks and CD's, but not from USB
devices. Any practical policy guidelines to limit risks would be
welcome. Steve Gray Wakefield MDC
