Juanma,
Have you considered disabling the USB hub (either from the device manager
or through the BIOS)? If you disable the hub from the BIOS and password
protect the BIOS you users will not be able to use any USB devices. If you
disable the device in the device manager, only power users will be able to
run the device manager.
Or per Q283658 (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283658) you can deny the
"Load\Unload Drivers" privilege for those users you don't want to use USB
devices. However, I don't know if this will work for USB devices that
already have drivers within the system32\drivers folder.
I hope that helps!
Thanks! Robert Gruen
