2.   Double click on power option.

3.   Click on 'choose when to turn off the display' or 'change when the computer sleeps'. Note: both the options are accepted.

4.   Click on 'change advanced power settings'

5.   You will be displayed power option advanced settings wizard.

If you have a laptop and you want to prevent other users from using USB flash drives, what you can do is disable the USB ports on your computer. Unfortunately, when you do this you will not be able to use all USB devices on your computer not only USB flash drives. The easiest way to disable all USB ports on your computer is from the BIOS.

To do this, restart your computer then press DEL, DELETE, F2, or whichever key is used to go to the BIOS. In the BIOS, check the menus for an option to enable or disable the onboard USB ports. Make sure all USB options and Legacy USB Support options are disabled or turned off. Save the settings then exit BIOS and restart the computer.

All USB ports should be disabled once your computer starts.
