Disable USB storage access on non-admin account

The admin processes should always run while letting other people use the PC using a non-admin account.

I want to restrict usb access for the non-admin account for preventive security. How can I do that?

windows-8.1
usb-storage

1This is something that is very easy to do using group policy objects. But I think it depends on what version of windows you have. Which version of Windows are you running? – canadmos – 2013-12-18T08:20:57.253

If you'd like to restrict access to non-administrators do the following:

Go to run
Type in MMC
Add snap in "group policy object"
Click on browse, click on the users tab and choose the non-administrators group
Click on finish
Extend the policy and enable the "All removable storage classes: deny all access" option via the following path:

User configuration --> Administrative Templates --> System --> Removable Storage access

Hope this helps.
