I have a query regarding Disabling USB ports (USB access) in Guest account,
what i need is that i have a Guest Account in STAND ALONE system and need
that every time guest login he cannot use his USB however when Administrator
log in he can access his USB.

I have tried different solution's like going through registry and changing
values but what it actually do it that it disables USB access for both i.e
Administrator as well as Guest.

Plz guide me if i can disable USB access in Guest Account only in STAND
ALONE system.

XP Home or Pro?

GPO is an option if on XP Pro
