Don't have a Windows box, but sounds like fun discovering how to disable it.

* If locked, I assume it prevents access even by changing the USB port?

* Does it prevent other use of the USB ports (flash drives, etc)?

* Does it prevent all cameras, or just the camera identified while the software was running?
