Manage USB Devices – USB Manager

USB Manager is a small Windows utility that can quickly enable and disable USB devices. It has no interface and runs from the system tray. You can control the devices from the right-click context menu.

It allows users to control USB devices such as, storage, printers, scanners, audio, and other devices.

It can also be used to lock a device. Suppose you want to disable printing, scanning, or a storage device, first disable it and then go to options to password protect the settings.

This can in fact be very useful. If you have a computer in office workspace and are worried that someone might copy a file then you can disable storage devices and password protect it. Once done, all USB inserted in your computer will fail to work. ;)

There is also an option to enable hotkey, start with windows, and hide it from the system tray.
