There is no easy answer for this. The best way, if possible, is to disable
usb ports in cmos and password protect cmos settings and use a locked
computer case. Of course that assumes no use of any usb devices which may
mandate non usb mice and keyboards. There are third party solutions also.

Hi Cameron,
First, let's make sure the USB memory stick reader driver has not been
installed onto the computer.
Then, you can make the user has no permission to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB
When the user connect the USB memory stick reader or other memory card
reader to the computer, the system will failed to install the driver. Then,
the user won;t be able to read the data on the memory card.
Thanks for using Microsoft News Group!
