My employer is beginning to assign laptops to mobile workers with Windows 7 Business edition. I am looking for a way to restrict the wifi networks and usb devices that employees are able to use with laptops. Is there a software package or setting that I can use to accomplish this. Keep in mind, this is a small non-profit agency, so cost is an issue.

there is a free tool that disables usb and for the wifi you can disable it in the bios or you will need to set group policy to only allow administrators to configure the devices
I think that I didn't work my question properly. I want the workers to be able to use wifi and usb devices. I just want to limit it the company issued encrypted flash drive and network.

How do you want to restrict the network?
There is a way to restrict to certain USB devices on a PC by using the USB devices device ID { }
here is the usb utility shortcut
