In previous days the windows registry trick are very popular in windows xp. But now a days we use windows 7 or 8. and in these operating system if we use registry trick then we success for some time, because after a update the system change registry at default stage.So this Does not work in new operating systems.
Second one option is we can change USB permissions for the user, but is more complex when we want to give back write permissions to users.
Third option is, we install a third party software for USB blocking. this is a successful way to block removable disk but we always afraid for keylogger and any malware. because no one company gives you services in free. if the company give the service is free then something is wrong.
You don't think to purchase a third party software. then you can use windows Group Editing Policy.
