Here's how to deal with those manipulative Active Directory admins that keeps on disabling your USB ports.
You can try this to sneak out, try enable and disable the ports after completing some unrelated office work but quite important.
You can always leave this enable (meaning creating a vbs to every system start)if you really want to break the rule but be careful not to get caught, admins have
a work around as well to disable this from the BIOS side and that would be dead end.
To re-enable USB port
Click Start
Click Run
Enter regedit in the Open box and click OK
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor
Select Start, then righ click.
Select Modify
In the Value data box, type 3, click Hexadecimal
Then close Registry Editor
And here's how to get it back and not to get caught.
