Whether you're physically connected to the network or not
makes no difference when logging on to the domain as XP
caches domain logon information by default. The profile
will be exactly the same as when you're on the network.
Your inability to see the USB drives, however, has to do
with Group Policies applied to the domain account, I
believe. There are no policies dealing specifically with
USB devices, but there is one called 'Hide these Drives in
My Computer', that gives admins the ability to hide drive
letters from their users (useful for removing access from
floppy drive, CD, etc).
Use the Resultant Set of Policies tool when logged on to
the domain(Add/Remove Snapins from the MMC) to see if this
policy has been applied to you (unless your power-hungry
domain admin has restriced access to that too!).
