We use Sanctuary from Lumension to do this.
Hello ,
If you want to disable all USB ports there is easy way to do it. But you mentioned to use only one USB port. I recommend you to use special software which allow I/O's or ports. There was software called SecureNT . If you can find it then it will solve your request. Otherwise you can check this software:

looking for some open source freeware
there's a product called "DeviceLock" that will definately achieve what you want, but you could also do it by using Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise and enabling BitLocker..
you can set Win7 to only mount encrypted drives, so if you restrict admin access to the other users and deny the creation of bitlocker volumes by policy, you can get most of the way there..

DeviceLock controls which users can access what devices .
I believe he wants only one USB stick to function and none other.
