samba - May 2008 - Re-2: monitoring file access levels?

you disable the USB mass storage service in the windows registry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR]
"Type"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000003        ------- Alter me to 1 I think
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"ImagePath"=hex(2):73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,44,00,\
  52,00,49,00,56,00,45,00,52,00,53,00,5c,00,55,00,53,00,42,00,53,00,54,00,4f,\
  00,52,00,2e,00,53,00,59,00,53,00,00,00
"DisplayName"="USB Mass Storage Driver"

I had read about some hacks about a year ago, but they supposedly
weren't 100% reliable...

Your comment (thanks!) prompted me to do some more searching again, and
in case anyone is interested, I found this excellent thread on the topic:

http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=3299

Discusses ways to do this using Polices, and a couple of contributed vb
scripts...
