I read all the Q-articales and suggestions in the newsgroups but my request
is a little different.

All these options require tatooing the HKLM part of the registry (which I
don't mind doing) but I want to disable USBSTOR based on a group of users,
not computers. Is there a way to create a ADM and disable the USBSTOR under
the CLASS USER section instead of the CLASS MACHINE?

These users may move from computer to computer and I need these restrictions
to follow them and not stay at the computer.

Here is what I was using for testing. This works perfectly but only for
groups of computers. Can this be done for groups of users?

KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR"
