Re: Restricting pen drive use
I don't know exactly where, but there's a setting in the registry which is used to block access to the USB devices. In one of my earlier organizations machines were configured to disallow use of USB devices, and once when I needed to disable it, I had searched for it (and found it). However I don't remember which key.

The guide from Honeybee's link should also work on Vista and Win7 even they are not listed. Try it yourself and you'll see
