prevent Minecraft from running completely, because it can be ran from a .jar file so you need to add .jar files to the list of blocked files as well.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A patron recently forgot a USB drive in one of our computers. After looking at it to discover the owner, I found that it was made into a portable gaming USB drive that had Technic Launcher on it for Minecraft. After reading about this,
it allows them to install and manage modpacks for Minecraft.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don't allow the USB drives to be bootable at startup or to autorun in order to keep patrons from getting past PC Reservation without logging in. I am not very familiar with the online gaming stuff, so I was wondering if there was any
security issues with allowing patrons to continue using USB devices in this manner?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to keep portable OS devices and game launching devices form working without stopping the use of USB drives for saving files or opening Word docs and the like? <br clear="all">
