How to Disable Access to your Pendrive in your PC

Author An article by webNivaran    Comments 8 Comments


Recently one of my readers asked me how to disable USB storage devices on computers. Now I am going to explain how you can enable your USB drive to reject detecting any pendrive. This trick comes handy if you own a cyber café and your computers are prone of virus infected USB drives.

To disable the access to USB port, in windows Vista / XP follow the steps below

  • Goto Start and click on Run and type Regedit, and then click OK.
  • In the registry menu Locate and then click the following registry key:
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesUsbStor
  • In the right hand pane double-click Start as shown in the image below.
  • In the Value data box, type 4 and then click OK.
  • Quit Registry Editor and refresh your desktop.

pendrive-disable

You can re-enable your USB port to accept pen drive by following the same procedure and changing the value to 3.
