I cannot think of a way to have it only accept the results of a will...

Perhaps if you posted your question again in plain English without trying to
use *fancy* words, maybe you'll get a response.

Although these things sometimes come across rather amusing, it is
worthwhile to keep in mind the possibility that the writer is not a
native English speaker, and that a dictionary is sometimes used to
provide words. Dictionaries are far from perfect if one is not aware of
the context in which some words are or are not normally used.

Only way I can think of is to "hack" the USBstor.inf file to remove the
recognition of the "unwelcome devices".
