Hello,
Before I begin, I hope I'm in the right section and I apologize for any spelling mistakes. Let me explain my problem: I work as a telemarketer in a call center for a mobile phone operator. Since I have a night shift, I don't have a fixed workstation, so I constantly change computers. This is really inconvenient for me, as I have to open the intranet interface each time to download the different files regarding offers, services, and options. Additionally, the interface is really vast and often goes down, so on certain days, I work blind with clients. Previously, we had the option to take our files on a USB stick, but since some colleagues exaggerated by bringing games on their USBs, the Administrator restricted access to the USB ports of all the PCs, and I don't know how. Therefore, we have three devices that work on the USB ports: the keyboard, the mouse, and the headset, and we can't even change the location of the USB ports. That is, if we change the USB connections from their respective ports, nothing will work. Recently, we had a change in offers, so I wanted to have them on my USB in case the intranet system crashed. I spoke with the admin and even suggested a network share for a common work space, but he wouldn't hear of it. So I wanted to know how I could bypass this restriction. I know this goes against the system admin's decisions, but he doesn't leave me any choice, though I understand him on the other hand.
Could you help me by providing a solution to bypass this restriction? Any other solutions would also be welcome.
-PS-the PC configuration: Windows XP with multi-session and administrator restriction.
Thank you.

You could put this data on a DVD-ROM. The drive in your computer must be working. This is one solution.
Another would be to put this data on the web. Of course, you need to have internet access to connect.
One last idea: use a USB hub. This thing allows you to connect multiple devices to the same USB port, including a USB stick.

You plug this hub into a USB port; that of your keyboard for example, then you plug a stick into the hub. You can find them for a few euros.
