Default disable USB and CD-ROM


We have sevenral computers in different outlets and we are facing lot of
problems with viruses. Now I want to make all users standard (not
administrator) and disable the USB and CD access on the standard user.

I have the following questions:

1. How can I disable the USB external hard disk, MP3, Flash emeory, etc
devices?
2. How can disable the CD access?
3. If I will disable the USB access, will it also disable the USB printer,
USB scanner and other IT devices installed by my company?

Hi Jassim,

I have a post in my blog that describes how you can accomplish this using
vbscript:

The script disables only USB storage and does not affect other USB devices.
