How can I hide my USB Devices?

Ok, guys here is the story! I installed a nanny cam in my home. This cam is plugged into my USB Port, via a USB DVR BOX. The nanny has access to the computer. The software for the cam is hidden and password protected. Here is the problem the device shows up in “my computer” as a USB Cam. When you click on the USB icon for the cam you can get snapshots from that cam. So back to the question, “Is there anyway to hide devices that are plugged into the USB Port?”

have you tried password protecting the computer so your nanny can't touch it or only allow guest access to the nanny.

No, computer access is part of the deal for the nanny. Also, I don't intend to get another computer or laptop.

I think you didn't understand what I meant you can enable a GUEST account on your windows XP, you can go online but can't make any changes or see vital information on the computer.
