Most of the viruses enter into your PC from USB flash drives. If you want to disable or restrict USB flash drive in your Windows 8
PC then follow today’s tutorial on Windows 8 in which I am going to
tell you a registry tweak to disable or restrict USB Flash Drive in
Windows 8. Just follow the following steps:

2 – Then open Registry Editor by tying regedit in the Run Open field and hit Enter.
3 – Then navigate to following location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor in the Registry Editor and double click on Usbstor.
4 – Then, in the right pane of Registry Editor, right click on Start and select Modify… from the menu.
5 – After selecting Modify a Dialog box will open. Change the Value Data of Start from 3 to 4 and click OK button to save the changes.
6 – Now Reboot your PC to effect the changes.
