I want to create a security feature in Windows 7/XP, where if any random person plugs in his USB, it'll ask for the admin(or any other) password. This security is implemented at a very low level, where the USB device can't read/write unless password is provided.

I've seen this implemented using Group Policy with Windows Serve, but any other method will also do.

P.S: I want to implement this on Windows XP/7, Not Server editions.

You can block USB ports through Group Policy for Users.

Note that if they have admin credentials, while Group policy can still block them, it can be blocked by installing a simple program that blocks Group Policy updates from the DC.

There are a few programs out there though that will provide you your password prompt. A quick google brings up MyUSBOnly.
