In Application & Device Control, it would be helpful to be able to enter a range, eg: (items that change are in bold)

USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCDE&0 - USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCF5&0

That would allow us to purchase sequential USB's and enter them all in one range.

Right now, to do the equivalent, you have to create a separate rule for each of the following:

USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCDE&0
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCDF&0
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCE*
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCF0&0
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCF1&0
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCF2&0
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCF3&0
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCF4&0
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER&REV_8.01\0123456789ABCF5&0

depending on how lucky you are with the range you get, this can be no big deal or miserable.  The example above is somewhere in the middle.
