winwinwin

oh god what answers ?! Have all of you read my post especially link ? I mean prevent from installing new hardware I'm afraid you need example as simple as that. You plugging ( first time ) some usb flash pendrive in this moment windows automaticly will install universal drivers for it as removable drive. In Vista there is admin option to forbid installing any new hardware That's what i mean. Oleg_II Your answer for now looks most reasonable however it's little hardcore

No, I meant disable hardware installaton as i understood well tip you gave me explain how to disable prompting only by baloon tooltips Tutor from my link for Vista explain how to disable any new hardware install after it will be plugged. Maybe is this possible anyway for auto install because I'm afraid XP PRO haven't got such feature at all...

Hello, Does anyone know how to prevent in XP installing any new hardware ? I have found very good tip but for Vista and above: Policy called "Device installation restriction" http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Bes...-Part11744.html Maybe some other method ? Please help. Thanks
