No USB blocking tool in Vista

I thought that in this version there would be a tool to lock USB ports. Using
Local Security Policies you can se the access to CD Roms and drives but not
USB ports. In firms it is a known security issue. We are using PS/2 mice and
keyboards and using DEVICE LOCK (a non Microsoft tool) to block access. As it
is an important security issue, a lot of people thought that you would offer
a tool in the new version. Aren`t they considering it?

Great Jane!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH
