[BBThumbHealer]

Hello Guys ,

I m having a Kingston Data Traveller 8 GB ..... i wud like to plug it onto my PC 24*7 but wud like to access only when required ( just like my external hdd ) ...

So is there any Software Or Registry Hack which prevents the flash drive to startup automatically on logon , but shud be accessible when i want to !


Thnx in anticipation.

I don't think that it's possible atleast in the M$ world !

When u plug in a USB Drive, the USBSTOR.SYS file recognises and mounts the appropriate drivers. If you don't want to access USB Drives u can disable access to this file using Registry Permissions.

But it's quite difficult to allow/disable USBSTOR.SYS on an ad-hoc basis.

Check this out: Disable Access to USB Mass Storage Drive Disable Access to USB Mass Storage Drive

I suppose this is what you need?? Also, it is going to stop every USB storage device.......
