Butangi nalang ug password imo pc para wla lain mogamit.

or you can use devicelock
Endpoint Data Leak Prevention (DLP) : DeviceLock provides USB lock down and PnP devices control via Group Policy
It can control which users or groups can access USB, FireWire, Infrared, COM and LPT ports; WiFi and Bluetooth adapters; any type of printer, including local, network and virtual printers; Windows Mobile and Palm OS-based PDAs and smartphones; aswell as DVD/CD-ROMs, floppy drives, and other removable and Plug-and-Play devices

And maybe you mean protecting your usb port, not usb drive.

The problem with that is, that it will need a) a driver or b) hooking of the native API. This makes it not really portable, because when you plug the usb drive into another PC, no driver would run which lock the usb drive.

A better (in my opinion) solution would be file encryption.

murag ang pasabot sa TS kay unsaon man siguro pag restrict sa paggamit sa USB port sa iya PC, dili kay ang flash disk mao ang butangan ug encryption. para kung naa mosak2x ug flash disk sa iya USB port (sa iya PC), mangayo ug password.

if ang USB flash disk ang ganahan nimo i-encrypt bro, you can always try http://www.truecrypt.org/

Yes, I misunderstood what he meant (because I am not filipino...).
I believe it should be possible, maybe not the USB port itself easily, but whatever will be plugged to the USB port could be blocked (asking for a password to access it).
