How to remove thumbdrive driver and prevent them from be installed?

Hi all, currently I put a lab for students. One of the requirements for this configuration gave me is to disable the use of USB key or external hard drive.

Whenever a key - USB plug first into the USB, a driver will be install (like USB, Samsung, Toshiba, Cruzer storage), how can I prevent that?

I have already a few driver already installed thumb drive, how can I remove them?

Thank you.

Hello-another guy.

Thank you for your message.  You can make a change in the registry to remove the possibility of using removable media.
Click "Start" > click "Run" > type regedit in the text field and press "Enter."
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor
In the right pane, double-click the name of the starting value.
Change the value 4 to disable the removable USB mass storage device drive access.
To restore and re - enable access by car to the removable USB mass storage device driver, restore the value data for the boot to its original default value of 3.
Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
See you soon

  • How to remove Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center?

    Hello, I look at a log of the events, and I noticed that there was some sort of error with the keyboard. Recommended action was to remove the driver and reinstall. So that's what I did. I have a Microsoft Comfort Curve keyboard 2000. Once I deleted the driver, then I tried to reinstall the driver which is bundled in a package called Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center. After downloading and extracting, invites a mistake: "this version of the software is already installed on this system. To re - install this software, you must remove it all first, and then rerun Setup from the installation media. For more information about removing a program, see Windows Help. "So, naturally, the first thing I did was look for an uninstall. Hmm, nothing to add or remove programs, there is nothing in the folder of the Start Menu. So the only other thing I could think to do was to delete the files in the C:\ directory, I did. But still, after trying to reinstall this driver, I get this same error. Will you please tell me how to remove this software from my computer, so I can reinstall it, so that I can use the good driver for my keyboard instead of ' HID Keyboard Device. Thank you.

    Hi, I thought about it. Or, at least, I understood how to uninstall. It turns out that Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center is in Add or remove programs, you just need to search to find it. And I uninstalled. So, I'll just reinstall and go from there.

    You can not. However, I'm not sure why you think it's a privacy or security threat. The only thing that can be accessed without unlocking the phone is the camera to take pictures. No one can access your data already on the phone.

I tried to use MAX and perform the operation so I wrote small program which reach the data from temporary database and then remove it. Yet I can find old events and alarms...

  • Remove all lines and insert them into Oracle can make performance worse?

    I m working in a project that I need to make a batch update regularly (every 4 months) of excel files. These files have doesn´t excellent key in their ranks.

    The development of a code that deletes all lines and inserts the entire base again is easier than one who checks in all the ranks of its primary key and if necessary update. (sometimes may be a key to 5 columns).

    My question is: if I delete all the rows in the tables of the insert it again, it will cause tablespace fragmentation and in a future loss of performance?

    Is there a way to avoid this?

    Thanks in advance
