The only one I found (but didn't try) was one of the registry tweaks. It
claimed to work, but not perfectly - something about some USB storage
devices not advertising themselves as 'USBStorage' devices - maybe U3
devices? - anyway, it sounded like it was one of t hose things that
might give someone a false sense of security.

I don't know enough about the innards to know one way or another... but
this method referenced in this thread sounds more promising. I plan on
experimenting with it - although, like I said, I wouldn't really kjnow
how to thorooughly test it, beyond just buying a few different types of
USB storage devices and trying it out...
