Stop User From Adding USB Mass Storage

[Rob West]

I have a security related question. How can you stop
Power users from adding USB mass storage devices to
company computers and taking information off? I looked
through Group Policy but did not see anything.

Administrator creates and modifies User Profiles, and therefore can specify
what other Users can and can't do. Just limit the "power users" to
reading/writing files, and _only_ to their own folders. Read the Help on how
to do this. Frankly, I wouldn't let anyone other than Administrator modify
the system or workstation in any way whatsoever, "power user" or not.

There's a lot more to security on a W2K system -- I suggest you buy a book on
the subject.
