Disable USB Storage Using Regedit

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Once in a while I have a friend, or customer that needs to keep people from using the USB ports to copy data off his system. It is easier to lock a machine down, disable the floppy, and CDROM in the BIOS. Many times when you try to disable USB – it disables it entirely.This can be a real pain in the ass with newer laptops or systems that don’t even have a PS2 interface for the mouse or keyboard.

There is a simple registry change that will keep the USB storage drivers from starting when the system boots. Keeps people from walking up to a PC and copying data off with a USB storage or pendrive, but allows you to keep your scanner, keyboard, and mouse in working state.

Remember, always back your system up before messing around with the registry.

Just open regedit and browse to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor

Notice the value ‘Start‘

Switch this value to 4, and USB storage devices are disabled.
Switch this value to 3, and USB storage devices are enabled

Howto Unlock Your Car With Tennis Ball

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

I’m very impressive with this video. This shows how a blondie girl unlocking her car (or her jackass boyfriend car) with a tennis ball. The theory is quite simple, using muscle to force enough air pressure into the door to pop the lock. Hmm, nice trick huh. From now on, make sure to bring tennis ball in your backpack before this incident happen to you. Remember, ask for permission from the cars owner before trying this.

Do this trick working for you or your car? Submit your comments and share it with other readers.
