This script will stop windows being able to user USB pen drives and mass storage devices, without the need to stop USB support in the BIOS.

Script Name: Disable USB Mass Storage
Script Description: Disables USB Mass Storage devices

IF True
THEN
Set Registry Value
Parameter 1 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor\Start
Parameter 2 : 4
Parameter 3 : REG_DWORD
OS Type : 0
ELSE

The script below enables USB storage again

Script Name: Enable USB Mass Storage
Script Description: Enables USB Mass Storage Devices

IF True
THEN
Set Registry Value
Parameter 1 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor\Start
Parameter 2 : 3
Parameter 3 : REG_DWORD
OS Type : 0
ELSE

This script works great -- is there any way to do something similiar with CD-ROMS and Floppy drives?

edit --

I realized how easy of a question this actually was.
I now have the ability to block CD-ROMS, FLOPPIES, and USB STORAGE DEVICES.

Cool

Simply change:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesUsbStorStart
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesCdromStart
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesFlpydiskStart

Works great.
