RE: Preventing USB drives

2003-05-29 Thread Nigel Bolt
The only other solution I've seen offered is to disable the plug and play
service but the systems I've tried this on don't seem to like it and I've
not got around to trying to find out why.

I can't remember where I saw it first but it also says it on;

 Any one know how to prevent users from adding USB drives?  XP 
 lets me add these drives even to restricted users.  I'm 
 unable to disable USB ports in the BIOS because the users use 
 USB mice.  TIA.

Do you just want to Hide them from showing up?

There are registry settings you can make to hide drives...would that be
an option?


Thank you,
