How can I password protect my USB port?

Hello

I use Windows XP SP 2. I want the password protect my USB port so that whenever I plug in a device, like USB flash drive, modem, USB etc key, you are prompted for the password which will protect my computer against unauthorized individuals to use my USB port and helping to prevent the intrusion of virus. How can I put the password in my USB port? This is not possible in Service Pack 2, then I'm ready to upgrade to Service Pack 3. Thank you.

If you want to protect your USB with password if you have lost your pen drive it contains the password, then you can use bitlocker to go. But for USB itself and also to protect the material you may have a look at:

However, I expect that some third-party tools may be able to do.

  • How can I password protect my Reader 11 document?


    I have recently been upgraded to Player 11 and I can not find where I can password protect a document as I could in previous versions.

    Adobe Reader has never been able to set a password. So I guess that until you had Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro, allowing you to set a password.

  • How can I determine my current USB ports on Windowx XP (1.1 or 2.0) size?

    I want to buy a flash drive, and I would like to know what size my USB ports.

    It is not the size, but the speed.  If you buy a USB 2.0 flash drive, it will work on USB 1.1 or USB 2.0.

    If you only have USB 1.1 ports, you will get a warning when you plug the flash drive that "this device might work more quickly if connected to a USB 2.0 port.

    To determine what you

    • Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
    • Click on the + to the left of the Universal Serial Bus Controllers (it's at the bottom of the list)
    • You will see one or more lines containing the words 'Host Controller'.  If neither of these lines has the words "Enhanced Host Controller", then you have at least some USB 2.0 ports.  If none of the host controllers is "strengthened", then they are all USB 1.1
    • Some older computers have a mix of USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports.  If you see 'Enhanced Host Controller' in the list in Device Manager, but you get the warning message when you connect a USB 2.0 device, try another port.  In particular, if you first tried a port on the front of the computer, try one in the back instead (or vice versa).
  • How can I write protect a USB

    I have an external USB formatted drive for Max OX extended (journaled). He has a backup of my music collection so I want to write protect it so that it can be READ and not deleted or all files deletion. How this is possible - running an iMac and El Capitan.

    I've tried right-clicking on the drive and the subfolders in the Finder and by changing the attributes of read/write READ ONLY for me and all the world, but I can always delete individual files.

    Thank you.

    You must disable the attribute "Ignore permissions" on the external hard drive. Just do a Get Info (command I) command on the volume desired in a Finder window and then downstairs there is a checkbox Check titled "Ignore permissions on this volume" - uncheck the box so that the ownership rules are now used for its content, then the privileges you set for those who can read and write should be respected.

    Note that this applies only to external volumes that I think - the internal disk volumes does not have this checkbox "Ignore permissions" is checked.

    Good luck...

  • How can I find/add a USB port on my laptop which has disappeared?

    I have three ports, but only two appear in Device Manager, and the third does not.

    Sounds like the port suffered physical damage, if you had a driver problem, nothing would work. You can try to start/devices and printers/add a device, but I don't think it will help.

    The only choices are to purchase a USB hub or send the laptop for repair.

    It has two ports Thunderbolt.  One is connected to the cable, the other is on the back of the screen.  If you can't find the Thunderbolt port, you will have the Mini DisplayPort in the screen version.  It has three USB ports on the back.  The Thunderbolt display has three USB ports, a FireWire port, an Ethernet port, and a Thunderbolt port on the back.

    (The Mini DisplayPort version cannot be connected in a string.)
