I want to create a startup program which will allow the user to be able to use a diskette or not. I want to disable the disk drive if they don't want to use it because the only to use it will be to have their disk scanned for viruses. Is there a program/utility which will allow me to disable the disk drive ??? (A: and B: are in the same physical drive) I guess it should not allow reading from or writing to the drive. That would help. I have checked all the pertinent directories at Simtel/WUArchive and have found nothing with a description to fit the need. Thank You. Chris Behrens ChrisB@Hubcap.Clemson.Edu
