To create a list of devices, click Show, specify a USB device hardware ID, and then click OK.
For example, to specify a device that has a VID 058F, PID 6387 and Revision 0142, type the value in the following format "VID_058F&&PID_6387&&REV_0142". You can use Device Manager to determine the VID, PID, and revision of a USB device. On the Details tab, select "Hardware Ids" to list the IDs of all USB devices connected to the computer.
As an alternative, you can use class and protocol information to block USB devices. To specify a device that has a value of Class 08, SubClass 06, and Protocol 50, type the value in the following format: "Class_08&&SubClass_06&&Prot_50". This information also is available in Device Manager. On the Details tab, select "Compatible Ids" to list the class and protocol values of all USB devices connected to the computer.
