Okay....
   
  First you put this vbscript in Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > 
Scripts > Startup section. 
  Now when you restart the computers, it will do the following....
   
    
   Will set the USBSTOR key's startup value to 4 (original is 3). This will not 
let the USB Mass Storage devices start.  
   Will deny anyone's access from usb.inf, usb.pnf files. This will deny any 
newer devices from getting detected....
  Please test & share results...
   
  Regds,

  What happens with our old script is that, when users plug in a new usb device 
the device gets accepted! I'll test the script you have send and will let you 
know as soon as possible, how it fares.

thanks for the help!

  Hi all,

We have this script running in our Windows 2003 domain. 

@echo off

:: *********DISABLE USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE******** 

regedit /s "\\Tai3dserver\SYSVOL\tai3d .com\scripts\disable.reg" 

"\ \Tai3dserver\SYSVOL\tai3d.com\scripts \subinacl.exe" /keyreg 
\system\currentcontrolset\services\usbstor /deny=system

the subinacl.exe deployment was advised by Mr. Ray Lewis, basically what the 
script does is, it modifies a registry value such that usb removable storage 
devices are not read by the system, but new usb storage devices are getting 
accessed, how do i block the modification of this registry value? Kindly 
suggest methods, I'm a novice in this... 

best regards
Ananth.
