Disable USB writing

You can disable writing to the usb port to prevent user from using thumb drives.

Go to Start>Run and type 'regedit'.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control.

Add a new folder on the left by right click on it and selecting 'new | key'. Name this folder as "StorageDevicePolicies". Click this new folder, create a new DWORD value, label it "WriteProtect" and set value data "1". It is done. Turn the value data to "0" to make this accessible again. Grin
