Hello

You can download this simple tool from Cnet: http://download.cnet.com/Disable-USB-Ports-Tool/3000-2653_4-75449410.html

You can restrict operations on your USB port and set password to it. You can restrict writing, reading, writing/reading or you can completely disable it. Also there is option for restricting regedit being edited by other users. 

This is very useful and simple application and I recommend it. 

Regards.

Hi there

Do not depend on software's, why you need software’s when you can block the ports manually. Follow the steps shown below to block USB ports

Step 1 – Go to start > Run > Type Regedit and hit enter

Step 2 – Find this path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SYSTEM> CurrentControlSet> Services> USBSORT

Step 4 –Find Start and Double click

Step 5 –Tick hexadecimal and in Value Data type “4”

Step 6 – Then close the regedit editor

Now your USB ports are disabled and if you want to enable it change the value back to 3
