How Do I Disable USB Storage Devices for one Group and Enable it for another?

Hi there
I am an IT Technician for a Medium Company with upwards of 1000 PC's
operating in a Win2k Domain. I have been asked to Set up a USB Policy
whereby normal users are prevented from using USB devices on their PC's
and also other selected users are permitted to install the devices in
their PC's.
I was hoping to do this by membership of certain Security Groups in our
Active Directory where for example if you are a member of a Group
called "USBAccess" you can use the device. If you are not a member of
this group you would be denied access to USB Drives.
I would also like to deny certain users access to the Registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR so that
users would not be able to change any values.
Also this policy would not affect USB Keyboards and Mice.
Hopefully someone can help
.
