Friends i have got answer for few questions

Ans 1) you can just simply disable the "windows installer service". Just go to run and type "msconfig" and under the services tab find and uncheck the service. It works for all versions of windows.


Ans 2 ) For problem number two go here(for USB drive)->http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-disable-usb-ports-to-prevent-malware-infection/
For Cd drive
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Device Manager > DVD/CD-ROM drives >
Right click on each drives & disable.
