How to Disable USB enabled mass storage devices?

-

as part of windows 7 deployment 1 of the requirments storage devices in particular work usb be disabled.

there ton of information bit confused regarding how disable mass storage devices, usb storage devices.  of course can't disable usb ports because our keyboards, mice , monitors connected via usb. : )

can please provide me guidance on how this.  ideally able using tools available me such through group policy? i'm using gpmc 6.0.0.1 , stick this.

 from reading sounds there no easy way of achieving , have happen through purchase of third party applications. correct in believing this?

the method looking have @ least 2 things:

1)"disable, reading usb storage devices" - ensure viruse on usb not infect desktop.

2)"disable, write usb storage devices" - guard against employee data theft.

thankyou
