How disable and enable usb port via command prompt?

Question

How disable and enable usb port via command prompt? or using batch script ? or using vb script in windows 7?

Answer 1

You can also have a look at devcon command. Available freely on microsoft site, for win7+ windows.

Answer 2

You can use batch which gives you a couple of options. You can edit the registry key to disable usb devices from being used

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f

To enable change value to 3.

Or you can deny access to the files Usbstor.pnf and Usbstor.inf

cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.pnf /d user
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.inf /d user

Where user is the user account that you want to deny access for.

To enable use

cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.pnf /p user:R
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.inf /p user:R

Both commands will need admin rights.

Hope this helps
