What exactly happens? As we know Windows is all about registry and for each and everything we had one Reg file same thing applies to USB.  For example USB Printer, USB hub, USB headphones for each component we had different registry keys.

USB Mass storage will be block. (Cell Phones, Jump drives, Disk and Pen drives will not detect in OS.
