    why you want to do that??
    if you want to disable the usb port..you can set at regedit. or use software to lock the usb.

    No,i dont' want to lock the usb port.
    But i thought,if i don't use any USB flash drive to improve my OS,i could disable this option, from Services.
    If i disable it,do i get troubles in the future, when i insert any USB stick / external HDD ?

    Go into Properties of the USB, and disable it that way.
    You can also choose to configure it, say 30% will be allocated for Readyboost, the remainder is for storage.

    or read up on this tutorial Readyboost-Setup
