Sometimes we really hate that USB drive because that is the simplest way of the viruses in interring our PC. That is why most of the internet cafe really disable that USB drive. So, I have here the tips on how to disable USB drive in Windows XP.
This is a simple registry change that will keep the USB storage drivers from starting when the system boots. Keeps people from walking up to a PC and copying data off with a USB key, but allows you to keep your scanner, keyboard, and mouse working.
Just open regedit and browse to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor
Notice the value ‘Start’
Switch this value to 4, and USB storage devices are disabled.
Switch this value to 3, and USB storage devices are enabled.
~that’s it guys, hope that this simple tips can help you in anyways! Enjoy tweaking… c”,)
