Re: Disable USB partially
If your goal is to stop users from copying files, then blocking write access
to USB drives won't completely address your need. There are many ways that
people can export data, and determined users will try them all:

* Burning to CD/DVD
*Emailing to external webmail
* Printing
* Copying to an externally-accessible server, then obtaining from outside

What is the security risk you're trying to mitigate?
