Users to plug in a USB flash drive, because they could so easily copy corporate data.
Since Windows XP SP2,& Above you can disable writing to USB devices altogether using a simple registry hack. Here it is:
Open your Notepad
type following n save it DisableUSB.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies]
"WriteProtect"=dword:000000001
Now for EnableUSB.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies]
"WriteProtect"=dword:00000000
Note:- Once you use the registry hack, you will have to reboot for the changes to take effect.
