How to disable restrict USB/Flash Drive in Windows 7

Recently one of my friend asked me how a USB drive can be disabled on a particular computer. So it‟s a pretty much Registry Tweak.

To disable the access to USB port, in windows XP, Vista and Windows 7:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type regedit, and then click OK. (Or simply open registry)

3. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor

4. In the right pane, double-click Start.

5. In the Value data box, change its value to 4, which was 3 and then click OK.



To re-enable a disabled port:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type regedit, and then click OK. (Or simply open registry)

3. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor

4. In the right pane, double-click Start.

5. In the Value data box, change its value to 3, which you changed to 4 to disable the USB drive and then click OK.

6. Quit Registry Editor.


Now whenever a user will attach a USB storage device which is already installed in system, Windows will not detect it and it‟ll not be shown in My Computer. However, disabling USB ports totally also disables the ability for Windows to use USB based keyboard, mouse, webcam, printer, scanner and etc., which are common devices for a computer nowadays and essential ones as well.

How to create Restore Points in windows 7 ?

Restore Points in Windows can be created a number of ways. Every time you install new software, Windows automatically creates a new Restore Point.

You can also manually create Restore Points in Windows.

To get started, do the following:

1. Click the Start button, type in Create a Restore Point, and then hit Enter.

2. This will load the System Properties System Protection tab as shown in image. This allows you to view your System Restore settings and create Restore Points.




3. Next, click the Create button near the bottom of the window.

4. On the next screen, type in a name for your Restore Point and click Create.

After you click the Create button the Restore Point will immediately begin taking a snapshot of your system. You will be shown a progress screen and notified when it is complete. In my experience it only takes a few minutes at most to create a Restore Point. Sometimes it takes less than a minute.
