Hi all,

I was looking for a method to disable USB storage devices through GP and
came across the KB article 555324. One question does pop to mind before I
implement this: I'm wondering if setting this would affect other USB devices
such as keyboards and mice, and if so is there a workaround?

Thank you.

I don't think it will bother the keyboard and mouse since you are not really
diabling USB, you are only disabling the drivers for certain devices if I
understood the article properly.

Hi,
Disabling USB storage stops the PC from being able to write\save data to a
usb attached storage device. All your other usb devices (keyboard, mice,
sound cards etc) will be fine.
