Please log in for more thread options If that's anything to do with the group policy , removing a computer from
the domiain should restore the settings.
Problem being, sometimes custom registry settings are delivered via a GPO -
those will stick when computer is removed. A popular approach to disabling
USB (sescribed at http://www.petri.co.il/disable_usb_disks_with_gpo.htm) is
such. That relies on disabling the USBSTOR driver by changing Start under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR\. I'd check there.
Vista makes thing more complicated - I'd create gpresult and go though all
enabled GPO settings to find the culprit.
