No USB blocking tool in Vista
I thought that in this version there would be a tool to lock USB ports. Using
Local Security Policies you can se the access to CD Roms and drives but not USB ports. In firms it is a known security issue. We are using PS/2 mice and keyboards and using DEVICE LOCK (a non Microsoft tool) to block access. As it is an important security issue, a lot of people thought that you would offer a tool in the new version. Aren`t they considering it?
