Hey guys

i have a question... how can i block a usb flash memory from a computer or disable it so our users can't use their flash memories and spread their viruses?! i just wanna disable the flash memory not all the usb portsv.

any software or a method from the windows xp it self does that?!

thanks in advance .

You shouldnt be letting people who are intent on giving you viruses onto your computer. Thats the safest bet.

You can pull off the usb's line in order to block it.
