Re: Password locking USB port (block USB usage)
Well, you can disable the whole hub from Device Manager and then restrict the user to access Device Manager (use "Run as" to access yourself from the restricted user), but you'll lose other devices connected to this hub too. You can rearrange the devices in that case.

The above article suggests two ways: 1. If a USB storage device is not already installed on the computer For general user groups, deny access to the following files.
Se the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\UsbStor\Start to 4 (Disable). You might want to do both to ensure full compliance in your network. |

Re: Password locking USB port (block USB usage)
With the article Strider give us, it seems to me it's not going to be hard for someone to write a program to do/undo these changes on a password enter.
