prevent writting to the usb port in Windows XP.
1) Go to 'Start|Run' and type 'Regedit'.
2) Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Co
ntrol.
3) Here add a new folder on the left pane by right clicking
on it and selecting 'New|Key'.
4) Name this folder 'StorageDevicePolicies'.
5) Click this new folder and in the window on the right
create a new DWORD value, lsbel it
WriteProtect, give it avalue of '1'.
6) Now users will not be able to write any data on the
USB.
To turn it off just set th evalue to '0'
