The reason for the USB being blocked is that some idiot has either uploaded something or down loaded something with a virus. If you are on a shared network at work, like I am, the virus will spread from one computer to another quite quickly. We have just had the same policy added onto our computers and laptops at work, they have left it so you can charge your blackberry, that is only because this is the type of work mobile all the managers are given. I personally have a Sony mobile and I can no longer charge it using the USB. I don't really know why you would want to use the USB apart from charging your phone etc. You shouldn't be using your work computer to download anything to a flash you can get fired for misuse of company property. If it's work related then speak to your IT department and they will take the block off. Other than that there is no way around it sorry.
