How to block all USB related popups in Win7 pro?

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 1:32 AM
My company builds a commercial product that is frequently connected to unfamiliar USB devices (Phones, iPods, tablets).
When the system encounteres a device it has not seen before, it pops up an "unknown device" window and starts the standard dialogue about drivers, etc. We want this disabled completely.
I am sure that this is a simple registry setting...
Thanks much in advance!
