Disable USB drives – remotely

by Steve Wiseman on June 29, 2006 · 2 comments

in Windows

A while back we published an article about disabling USB drives. It included a little program that would make the registry change for you.

We took it one step further this week. We just released our free remote USB disabler. It only disables storage devices. USB Mice, keyboards, scanners will still work fine when this is in place. You can disable, or enable USB storage devices across your network.

It is small enough to fit on a floppy, and does not need any 30MB .net runtimes, or DLLs. It works without an install.

You can download it from here – as always no spyware, adware or junkware – only freeware goodness

Hi,

I tried using the USB block tool. It was successful in windows XP but unfortunately failed in Vista. The user still can access the USB drives. I disabled the access and restarted the machine remotely. But after the restart, user still can access USB. Could you please suggest something?
