In order to protect the important files in the computer, we are racking our brains. In addition to encrypting the files, we can also set up to refuse to copy, so as to prevent others from copying data at will through USB drives. This paper introduces in detail the method of setting up shielding U disk to copy computer files, which can be referenced by friends in need.

How to set up to refuse others to use USB disk to copy computer files?

1. Insert the USB disk into the USB interface of the computer, right-click "computer" on the desktop, select "Properties", pop up the page, and click "device Manager".

2. Go to the device Manager page, locate "USB Mass Storage device" and right-click, and select "Properties".

3. Open the properties window, switch the tab to "details", click "Properties"-"hardware ID", and then copy the value of the first line.

4. Click the start button, click "run", enter the command [gpedit.msc] in the box, and press enter.

5. Enter the local group policy editor interface, and expand the path of "computer configuration"-"Administrative template"-"system"-"device installation"-"device Security restrictions".

6. Open [allow to install devices that match the ID of the following devices] on the right side of the interface, enter the corresponding window, click "enabled", and then click "Show"

7. Paste the previously copied hardware ID in the pop-up dialog box, click OK, close all windows, and restart the computer.

According to the above method, the computer can only recognize its own flash drive or removable hard drive, and others will not be able to copy your files through the flash drive.
