USB Device Disabling

[Kevin]

Is there anyway to disable USB Devices in Windows 2000 by using the
registry?

you MS dudes have the answere please let us know!!!!!!!!

check this out. Allows restrictions to more than just USB
ports. We've starting using it and it has some of our end
users baffled...lol

Armando,
Thank you.
I have looked into the DeviceLock application.
Unfortunately, to purchase it would be way to expensive.
It would cost over $5000 for my company to buy the correct licensing for it.
That is why I am looking for a simpler way.
Maybe just disabling USB in device manager and ghosting for any new PCs
would be best.
Current PCs will just have to be a manual job....unless SMS can do
something....

Thanks for your help.

Hi

This was a question I posed some time ago and was told that this could
not be achieved within the operating system. I have since been
looking at 2 solutions for controlling USB and other removable media
access www.deviclock.com & www.disknetpro.com. Hope this helps
