Hi people, Im currently programming in VB6 (not .net unfortunately)
Im making a security programme which basically dissables a lot of windows stuff that makes it vunreble in public use.
IE: Access to hard drives, control panel, so on so forth
Im looking for 2 things as I have done the majority of it my self now.
a) How to lock the CD rom drive doors from opening (and if possible an answer for detecting multiple CD rom drives and locking them)
b) Disable Delete File, Move File, Rename File
If you know a registry value which does this please let me know so that I can start scripting it right away. If there is no registry value con you supply the code with explanations on how it works so that I can learn how to use it or a link to a website as all I get is “Download” software already made for users who want to disable the drive.
(You can post a link to an OCX but id much preffer to learn how its done my self than to leach of some one elses code)

Vb Programmers – How To Lock Cd Rom Drive?
Saturday, October 24th, 2009How Do I Reformat My Hard Disk Drive?
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009I am having trouble reformating my hard drive in Windows. I have gone to my computer and tried to reformat the drive using the Disk management utility, and it pops up and error that says “Windows cannot format this drive. Quit any disk utilities or other programs that are using this drive, and make sure no window is displaying the contents of the drive”.
So I went snooping around and started deleting files on my own, and I have come across the reason behind my lack of the ability to format. The following files are not allowing me to delete them or reformat my drive (even in safe mode):
Flashutil9C
FlDbg9c.ocx
epilogue.ps
AcroIEhelper.dll
AcroPDF.dll
pdfshell.dll
This is on a secondary partition in which I used to have Windows installed, but I now have it installed on another partiion of my drive.
So is there a way for me to kill any and all processes that use those files, and then be able to reformat my hard drive with out using the OS boot CD?
Problems Setting Up Western Digital My Book External Hard Drive (setup Does Not Run Correctly)?
Friday, October 16th, 2009ok, so I try to run the setup file that’s on the hard drive, I assume to install the utilities and stuff, and it won’t run correctly. I double click on it and the first thing it does is tell me that Flash9 ActiveX Control or later is needed. I click Yes and Flash9 Player pops up. Upon closing this window, an error tells me “Access violation” at some address in module “Flash6.ocx”, which seems to be a null pointer error. Another window appears after clicking ok here that has the WD logo on it, but then nothing else. I assume this is supposed to be the loading image for the installation wizard, but it doesn’t progress beyond that. What could be wrong?
P.S. I have tried copying to the hard drive without doing the setup and it eventually ends up telling me that there isn’t sufficient space on the drive, even though explorer says I have more than enough. I don’t know if this is helpful
I Need Help With Installing My New Hard Drive Please!!?
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009I am trying to install my new hard drive, it is blank. My old hard drive had XP on it and I am installing xp on my new drive so I was told I wouldn’t need to flash the BIOS. So when I went to install it, I let my laptop boot from the xp cd and it gets all the way to where I have to decide the NTFS or FAT32 then it comes up with this message:
A PROBLEM HAS BEEN DETECTED AND WINDOWS HAS SHUT DOWN. IF ITS THE FIRST TIME YOU’VE SEEN THIS ERROR RESTART AND DISABLE ANY ANTIVIRUS, DISK DEFRAGMENTATION OR BACKUP UTILITIES. CHECK HARD DRIVE CONFIGUARTION AND CHECK FOR ANY UPDATED DRIVERS. RUN CHKDSK/F TO CHECK FOR HARD DRIVE CORRUPTION AND RESTART.
TECHNICAL INFO:
***STOP: OX00000024 (OX001902FE, OXFBC87664, OXFBC87360, OXFB4533AO)
*** NTFS.SYS-ADDRESS FB4533AO BASE AT FB3F8000, DATESTAMP 4117eea
What does this mean and how do I fix it. I was told once that it might be a format problem and I went on the microsoft support page and found something on the “missing or currupt ntfs.sys” error and tried to (as it said) go to the xp recovery and type in some commands but it went to the same screen.
I had another hard drive and returned it because this same thing happened at the same point.
WHAT DO I DO? HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? IS IT A BAD HARD DRIVE AND WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? AS I SAID THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH ANOTHER HARD DRIVE I HAD.
Problem With Xp And Phillips External Hard Drive?
Sunday, October 11th, 2009I bought a Phillips external hard drive (Model no: SPD5300CC/96B) from ebay but have noticed that from time to time I will now get the blue screen with the following errors:
win32K.sys, address: BF848D0 baste at BF800000, Datestamp 41107f7a. And today it was:
STOP: 0×00000024 (0×001902FE, 0xF8970A80,0XF897077c, 0×804FFAB5). I have tried to research on the net re: this drive but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? Should I get my computer re-formatted and throw out the phillips external drive and buy another decent one?

” Drive Read Error” Keeps Popping Up Whenever I Try To Play A Game I Just Loaded Onto My Computer.?
Thursday, September 10th, 2009I am pretty sure my computer has the right sys req for the game. I was able to download the game but whenever I try to start playing the game a small window that says ” Drive Read Error” pops up. It tells me to insert the disk for the game into my computer but I have already done that. I can either click retry or cancel. But clicking retry only causes the box to come up again. What can I do?
