Chad,
A simple question;if I may.
Didn't I hear somewhere that there's a way in Vista;to deny usb access?
Like locking out the ports or something?
I swear I heard that month's back.

Thanks for the compliment. It was lucky coincidence in this case that I knew
the answer. I had just spent the previous day at a Microsoft Partner event
and two presenters had shown how to implement USB policies :-)

Kerry;
Come to think of it; that's where I heard about it in the first place;at
an MSDN event.
