I disabled I guess all usb ports on my stationary computer, my mouse and keyboard dont work... how do I enable it back? please help...
I cannot slick start, nothing works... can I do it in bios?

you can enable/disable and hardware from device manager....
right click on my computer->properties->device manager->select your device(here USB)->right click->enable/disable option will come up....

select the desired option..

Use a software to enable/disable USB ports is very easy, it is Disable USB Ports Tool - disable or block USB storage device, set USB ports to read only and it can control more computers in 1 network.

For windows 2008 no template is required, check below post

You can disable usb port from group policy settings for a particular user or
either try to disable it from Bios setup settings.

Enable/Disable USB access in local/remote computer using a smart way...

Use IntelliAdmin Remote USB disabler. Hope this will help.

at my workplace we also use a software to block/allow/read only devices and ports, it's called Endpoint Protector 4

Hi,Friends

On the desktop, right click on "MY COMPUTER", and then select "MANAGE" option. a new window will appear, in that select SYSTEM TOOLS, in that click on "DEVICE MANAGER", on the right side of the window pane, a list will appear,that will show you the components attached to your system, in that select the USB port, right click and diable the port.

Ok,Try it.
