Disable USB Drives

This is a simple registry tweak that will disable USB devices. It changes the registry a tiny bit to allow no access to these drives. I find this useful if I want to make sure no one can copy over sensitive data from my computer.

Also, some computer are accidentally changed to disable USB write. This could be caused by a virus, or carelessness while working with registry files.

Enable USB write

Disable USB Write

*Note that if you are an administrator, you can easily change this.
