I was thinking about this today, while at a client's in stalling a new Dell Vostro. Much of what used to have other ports has now gone to USB, specifically the keyboard, mouse, printer. The things that aren't USB are now just the display, speaker, and network. Creating a GPO turning off USB would render these PCs useless, or at least damned difficult to work. Now I'm wondering if there's some way to set a policy so that that disk device won't be allowed, but other devices would still be usable.
