The following registry setting will prevent writing to USB in windows XP.
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control Add a new key and name it "StorageDevicePolicies".
In the window on the right then create a new DWORD value and label it WriteProtect, give it a value of "1" and users can no longer write to USB drives.
Giving a value of "0" will allow to write again
