Disable USB Storage Devices In Your Desktop And Get Secured

Have your personal information ever been copied or pirated? It might be your years of project or your secret video; you’ll obviously feel not well when you know that it has been copied by someone by accessing your computer. Most of the files are copied to removable storage media like USB drives.

Today in this tutorial, I am going to show you how you can make USB storage devices totally useless without your permission.

You won’t need any special utility or software, just a tweak in Registry editor is enough to enable or disable the USB drive.

To block all the storage device in your Windows, run registry editor by typing regedit in RUN command.

In the registry editor, at left side navigation pane, navigate to following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > USBSTOR

Now at the right side double click on Start.

To block USB storage Medias, change the value data to 4.

If you want to unblock USB storage Medias just navigate to the same location and change th value data to 3.

If you don’t want to bother tweaking registry then I’ve made a simple program to Block and Unblock USB device.

You can download it from here.

USB BLOCKER- Hackingpath HERE

USB UNBLOCKER - Hackingpath HERE

Download both of them and open it to toggle between Block and Unblock USB storage media.

You can hide it in desktop or anywhere favorable to you.

How To Use pen Drive Even If It is Locked in Colleges, Offices Etc.

Generally in colleges and Organizations USB drives are locked. It is sometimes irritating when we want to copy some important data from that computer but computer refuses to recognize it and says Found new hardware, USB Mass Storage Device, please install drivers for it.
I Google it and find the solution at Trouble fixers. It defines two methods to tackle this error. But you should have administrator rights to use these methods. To have administrator rights check this post Cracking Administrator Account


1. By Disabling USB Ports from Device Manager

 i) Go to Start > Run, in run prompt type “devmgmt.msc” and press enter.

ii) Go to Universal Serial bus Controller. See if there are any red colored cross? If yes, right click and enable those USB Ports.

Now try and use the pen drive.
2. Correct Registry Value for USB Mass Storage device

Now remove and connect the pen drive again, it should work fine.
