lloydspnm Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Is there a generic way in script to disable the USB ports and CDROM drive. I can disable the appropriate devices in the registry, but if the hardware changes then the tweaks don't work anymore. Can it be done at a higher level?

oioldman Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Now, that would be useful, as i'm building an unattended for work and as such they dislike use of USB especially.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 You can use DevCon as an alternative to Device Manager. I believe this command disables the basic (onboard) USB-controllers:devcon disable USB\*Edit: oh yeh, forgot the command for CDROM-drives :devcon disable IDE\CDROM* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oioldman Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Pain, and not easy to ensure BIOS password is set, and not all PC's have the same!!So, as they get re-built, it will be applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
