IS this GP Possible

[Guest]

Hi,
Is there a Group Policy available to disable the use of thumb drives (Small
USB drives) and other remote storage devices? Only when the admin is logged
on can such devices can be used.

Thanks

Hi,
Can I deploy this via a group policy?

Using Group Policies to set NTFS ACLs is well documented so you could
certainly use Jerry's tip to deny access to the require file easily enough.

I tried implementing your advice here with the registry key. I run xp pro
xp2 but there is no such key in the registry How would I go about entering
such a key to enable the use of a 3rd drive.
