While you can do that in the Group Policy or Registry, you may prefer a graphical user interface that is letting you make those changes with a few clicks of the mouse button.

USB Disk Manager is a portable program for the Windows operating system that you can use to make the following changes to the system:

• Turn Write Protection on or off – This blocks any write attempts on removable USB drives on the system. Useful to block other users from copying data from the PC to the USB device, and to avoid the spreading of viruses via USB
• Allow or deny the execution of software – Here you can block programs stored on the USB device from being run from the device. It is still possible to run the applications if they are first copied to the PC. The basic idea here is to block USB viruses from spreading to systems this way, but it can also block users from running their own applications, which may be useful for public Internet terminals.
• Enable or disable removable USB disks -  This blocks write and read attempts when disabled, so that files can’t be accessed or written anymore.

Keep in mind that plugged-in USB devices need to be reconnected before the settings take effect for them.

The application minimizes to the system tray, from where you can also switch between settings easily with a right-click on the icon.

1. Blue Media Television

Television from Blue Media is an Android app that allows you to watch over 40 full screen channels from all over the world. Although it doesn’t have a multitude of features, and it requires a one time payment of $3, you will have lots of channels at your fingertips, and that’s got to count for something, right? So go to the Android Market and give it a try. Better pay for something professional than wasting your time to find something cheap and reliable.

2. SPB TV

SPB TV seems to have everything a good TV streaming app should have: high resolution and low resolution options, TV guide, quick channel preview and many others. It can run over Wi-Fi networks or 3G for faster loading. I have seen some complains about this app, but I tested it and I can say it works great. For a specific reason, it reminds me of Sopcast, too bad they don’t yet have an Android app.

3. Watch TV

This nice little app allows users to watch online TV with good fidelity, and it’s a good solution for those who do not have flash capability on their phones. If you are in this situation, you can use Skyfire for viewing. I hope in the future to see more channels, but until then, it does the job, and best of all, it’s free on Android Market.

4. HBO GO

Everyone has heard of HBO, and so, at one time or another, you have watched a movie or series from them. Now, you can watch your favorite shows directly on your phone, in high definition. You will need a 4G connection or a really strong Wi-Fi network to use this app. HBO is known to be an “elite” network so I am sure you will not be disappointed.

5. theChanner

You can now get this app for free on the Android Market. It streams TV fast, and with really nice resolution. If you are looking for something to pass the time, this app is perfect for you. Although, you do need a sturdy Wi-Fi or 3G network for it to stream seamless video, it is pretty data hungry.

6. DISH Remote Access

Dish Network is the only game in town if you want Live TV streaming from your cable or satellite company. The live TV for Android app delivers access to your DVR, TV and On Demand programs at no extra monthly charge. You need to have a ViP™ 922 Slingloaded DVR or ViP 722 or 722k DVR with the Sling Adapter to make this work.

7. Watch TV Free

As the name suggests, this app allows you to watch TV online completely free (no subscription or app price). What the name doesn’t suggest, is that it runs in high resolution. The flash player(required) has excellent fidelity and you ca view quite a few channels. The only thing that could be considered a minus on this app would be the lack on information for each channel. This app is also free on Android Market.

8. FUEL TV

All you sports fans out there, beware! FUEL TV is an Android app that allows you to watch 9 sport channels, read news, download ringtones or wallpapers, all of these via a free app from the Android Market. For all you skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross, surfing, BMX, rally car videos fans, FUEL TV will be a favorite!

9. Online Sports

This app is a TV streaming soft literally. It’s more of a medium where you see information about sport matches and news, and where you can find links to where you can view the channel that streams live the show. Using this method, I think is more reliable than the usual methods, so I recommend this app. You can pick up this app over at the Android Market for free.

10. KidsTV

Now work peacefully after giving your child the benefit of Android, as we would like to put it. From Barney to Dora, rhymes to cartoons, a plethora of options await your toddler for him or her to choose from. Easy to use interface is another major turn-on in this app.

3. TunePrompter
While kJams can be a bit complicated for those just wanting a bit of fun, TunePrompter makes creating your own Karaoke videos an absolute cinch. Best of all, its absolutely free and a pleasure to use. Although it was originally designed for use with Griffin Technologies iKaraoke hardware, there’s absolutely nothing to stop you creating your videos, exporting them to QuickTime and then burning the results to disc.
