Blocking Access to USB Ports

[rakesh-the gilli]

Guys is there any software that helps blocking USB ports so that when any removable drive is plugged it needs a password in order to get recognised by the operating system.? I am using Windows OS.

I browsed the net and came up with a registry hack- Changing values of the key USBSTOR, but instead is there any software.?

Basically it should block access to the USB ports and only with a password, the port must be unlocked..

Thanks gopi_vbboy. I tried it. It was nice to use but the free edition doent allow me to whitelist my devices rather it asks whether to allow or deny access with the default password. Is there any free edition available.?
