My guess is you need to use Environment manager. Application manager can only lock down files and .exes as far as I'm aware and works with trusted ownership of files (well that's the simplistic explanation). Not used Environment manger before. I was wondering what config you could use by locking down files and Exes to disable USB !!! I guess maybe if you know the driver in uses it's possible. Let me know your findings.

Otherwise I'd be working for Volante :) Malcolm, I think you need to use a combination of Application and Environment Manager, but I get confused between the two. I don't know them well enough to tell you how. I'm doing my first deployment in about a month, so I gess I'll be learning all about it on the fly. Sorry I can't be of more help. But I did see them demonstrate this. Cheers.

Is there any particular product that is being used or recommended. We intend to upgrade to PS 4 for XP shortly so something compatible if possible.
