Disable Copying to Flash Drive

Maybe you wondering how to make your files in your computer so it cannot be copy or move to Flash Disk? (in another case, you want to protect your data from getting copying by your enemies). Well, there is an answer for that.

By using REGEDIT (Registry Editor), you can do whatever you want with your windows (make sure you know what are you doing), also how to make your data cannot be copy or move to all flash disk.

Just go to “run” and then type “regedit” there, then find “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
\StorageDevicePolicies”.


If you can’t find it, create it!!. At “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\” click “Edit” -> “New” -> “Key”, and give name it with “StorageDevicePolicies”



After that, Create another DWORD value same as how you create new Key, only this time you choose DWORD, not Key. Give name it with “WriteProtect”, double click it, at Value data enter 1.



That’s it. Restart your explorer.exe (you can find how to restart explorer.exe in another tutorial)
