USB external storage drive disable
I would like to know how to "disable" the USB storage drives so that no one can copy to them, but also not disabling the keyboards or other devices that might be connected to other USB ports. My concern is someone transfering data to the USB portable storage drives that they should not. Thanks.

Dear Spiky2009,

You can disable it if you read this article from Microsoft

If that doesn't help, you need to Google with this words: "disable USB",

I think that help.
