Subject: Disable Copying of file from USB flash drive

Question
Good day.

I would like to know the code on how to disable the copying of file from USB flash drive using VB.NET.

Thank you very much and more power.

Answer
Not sure if this is what you require: http://royalflare.wordpress.com/2007/11/23/how-to-disable-copy-to-usb-storage-de...

But I think the above only makes your USB Drives readonly. Which means files can still be copied.

The only other solution which comes to my mind is to Encrypt your files when storing on USB. For this you need to write an application which reads a file and then gives you and encrypted file, also that application is able to read an encrypted file and decrypt it as well.

You can find many code samples on internet for such applications.

Regards,
Rizwan
