Step 1
To prevent the spread of malware and possible theft to possible data from your computer bear with me with this process and be mindful of its sequence, because this might take some keen eyes on your part
(go to start)
(click on run, hit ok)
(under the "run" box, type "regedit" then enter)
(as soon as you enter a new box will appear, this will be the REGISTRY EDITOR)
Step 2
Now prepare to the following steps, you will only do this registry tweak value to DISABLE USB Flash devices altogether
(Double click the HKEY LOCAL MACHINE)
(Click SYSTEM)
(Open CURRENT CONTROL SET)
(Click SERVICES)
(Then find and scroll down to USBSTOR key)
(As soon as you open up the USBSTOR please look on your right side to check the values)
(look and click START, you will find that the original value will be 3)
(Change this to 4 to disable the USB mass storage driver)
(Click ok)
Step 3
Configuring this setting will not affect your User file directory, but will prevent the driver from starting each time you insert a USB device
Now to return to NORMAL operation simply
(type 3 on the start value) ! U DONE
You must restart your computer and see the effect.
