I recently wrote an article on how To Enable / Disable USB Removable Mass Storage Device Pen Drive Access in Windows ^[1]. In the article, I pointed the registry changes that need to go, in order for you to be able to enable or disable a pen drive / removable mass storage device. Also, for those who are not comfortable editing registry files, there were respective registry (.reg) files uploaded. But with InteliAdmin’s USB Drive disabler, the whole process of handling registry editors is out of scope. You can download USB Drive Disabler, a free software from IntelliAdmin, that will help you disable or Enable USB drives. Internally, this software runs a process which will make changes to your registry file. No human intervention required. This tool works on Windows server 2000, 2003, 2008, Windows XP and Vista. If you have Windows Vista, remember the extra (unwanted according to me) protection they've put in - you'll  have to run the program as an administrator. Select if you want to Disable or Enable USB drives and then apply the settings. Changes will be made to the registry keys accordingly and will be effective immediately. This will Disable or Enable only USB storage, and not the USB port itself, so you'll still be able to use other USB devices like USB mouse, web cam, printers, scanners and such.
