Limit USB on Windows XP SP3....Windows 2008 R2 GPO

Question
-
Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 with Windows XP SP3 clients. We would like to limit access to USB devices by GPO but we see all the documentation refers to Windows 2003. Is there any effective way to do it?
One solution is to limit access to the drives but the GPO only speaks of drives from A through E. .. or all ... before it could edit the file. ADM to set this up, can now do the same? What file should we edit?
Thank you very much!Wednesday, February 17, 2010 12:32 PM
