A software developer lost his software to a sharp guy who had access to his computer and copied the core files of the software with his USB drive unknown to the poor geek. This could have been prevented if the USB ports were locked/disabled.

Here is how you can easily disable and enable your USB ports.

• Click on Start.
• Click on Run. If you cannot find RUN, type it in the search box.
• Type “regedit” without quotes. This will launch the Registry Editor.
• Navigate to  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\usbstor.
• In the work area, double click on Start.
• In the Value Data box, enter 4.
• Click on OK.
• Close Registry Editor and refresh your desktop.
• To re-enable access to your USB ports, enter 3 in the Value Data box in Step 6.
