    This is NOT to disallow connecting USB devices. This is to disallow WRITING TO connected USB devices.

    Didn't the name "WriteProtect" suggest it enough?

    Thx.
    After installing SP2 on my laptotp. I was unable to connect any new usb device to the usb2.0 ports. The PC was continuosly asking me for a device 's driver, which of course for usb pen drive you do no need it.
    This new registry key solved my problem!!!!

    The admins over here recently installed this one www.gfi.com/endpointsecurity to block usb device use. I read that they can just choose who can access what. Say goodbye to my iPod music on the pc! :(

    Our office has around 20 computers. We use a product called AccessPatrol to control the access of USB and other external devices on our computers.

    It works like a charm. I downloaded it from www.AccessPatrol.com
