USB redirection option

Hi guys. Before somewhere I red about USB redirection options. I want setup one-sided USB redirection. From thin client to VM only  or block USB redirection from VM to thin client. Is it possible?

Environment: vMWare vSphere 5, vMWare View 5. Virtual hardware version 8.

Ah, I understand now. You'll likely want to look into something similar to the following: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/300141

Perhaps there is another option, but I have not heard of it. Hopefully someone else will be able to shine more insight.

Are you using the Windows client, thin clients, or zero clients? With the Windows client, there is an option within the top menu bar to pass through USB on the host to the VM; for zero clients, it is automatic from the zero client to the VM.

I use windows embedded standart 7. I know about the bottom menu bar, but it's not the answer for my question. I want clients use only  one direction - From USB to VM, not both (from VM to USB).

What devices are you considering "VM to USB" ?
