RE: Selectively disabling USB devices

I donno about MP3 player etc but you can disable download to USB on same
ports using a software called Waterwall / PcPlus. This we have been
using and is tested. Another application Websense also has some features
like this.

Hi all,

Is it possible to selectively disable USB devices? For instance, only 
mice and printers should work when connected to a USB port but flash 
drives, other mp3 players etc should not work when connected to the 
same USB ports.

In operating system terms, we are looking at Windows XP professional 
sp2 and Windows 2000 sp4.
