You can use Group Policy at the domain level to restrict some access to
drives via Explorer, but not USB. Be sure to read the full description of
what the restriction does as it may not work if a user can get command
prompt access which may be done in many ways. Look under user
configuration/administrative templates/Windows components/Windows Explorer
for possible restictions.
Otherwise there are third party applications such as Device Lock that may do
what you need and I believe they have a free time limited download. ---
