  can I ask for some details about how the usb drives are ruining computers?=
 might help the list come up with a solution. 

  we also have restrictions on .exe files and run a program called Deep Free=
ze whereby each PC reverts to a "frozen" image when it is restarted regardle=
ss of what changes are made to it by student or teacher.

    Hello all,

    Our network manager has encountered a number of problems with student me=
mory sticks ruining computers. He wants to ban memory sticks. I was wonderin=
g if any list members had any policy relevant to this issue.

    Thanks
