Enable Disable USB mass storage device
Do you like this story?
Friends In your college's net lab you may want to block USB mass storage device to disallow the unauthorized use of pendrives or may want to unblock USB mass storage device to get access. Well friends, this can be done by a simple registry tweak.But before doing so, I recommend taking a backup of the registry because playing with registry can be harmful for your OS.
Steps to Enable or Disable:
1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Locate, and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR
4. In the right pane, double-click "Start".
5. In the Value data box, type "3" (without quotes), click Hexadecimal (if it is not already selected), and then click OK.
Note :- if 3 is entered it will open the port and if 4 is entered it will close the port.
6. Quit Registry Editor.
