In my work cd I used viceroy's Secure Screen allow me to create several user, differents password and also set and expiration date to any of the users.http://viceroy25.tripod.com/He also supplies the source code....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I did't look for password protection of my cd, but now when i found out that i could use XPE to protect the sysboot, it could help me to protect the cd motch better But i would still encrypt the files that containg licens a.s.o, to i would use a expire date to be 100% sure (know that nothing is 100%)
Rex Posted August 11, 2005 Author Posted August 11, 2005 cameronsdad said: didn't mean for the script to delete from the cd...if registry editing is not possible with that type of a boot, then why not make an obscure ini that is looked for by your program, same concept, there is a control check that your software could look for at startup, and if found, your program knows it should be disabled. that could be one trigger to create and execute the script mentioned above, which places (or overwrites if it already exists) the registry entry/ini file and ejects the cd...***edit*** messed up on my bold tag...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ahha , Oki that way - Now i think i know wath you meen.But it's rare that the cd boots the same computer more than ones a day.We (my staff) are driving around to diffrent coustomers to help with pc probs.Some a firms, other are privates - but normaly we brings up the pc for with in an houre or two, and then next coustomer...But the was briliant, i must rember it for use on some other time

For all intensive purposes the cd becomes useless at the time you want it to.

My current "block" script runs before the "system" is fully loaded, so the user never (if the cd i expired) never sees wats on the disk, and now where i can pass protect it, it would be mutch easyere to protect the licenses...Take a look at Bart's PEbuilderit's one of the bedst admin tools i ever found (besides AutoIT )/Rex
Danny35d Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 You should try viceroy's Secure Screen I add a shortcut to startup and another one to the quick launch. When I have Adaware running and cleaning spyware , I click the shorcut at the quick launch and lock the screen nobody can use that computer. I work on the next help desk call and back to the computer with the lock screen and finish my work. AutoIt Scripts:NetPrinter - Network Printer UtilityRobocopyGUI - GUI interface for M$ robocopy command line

(If you didn't notice, he said he abandoned the BSOD idea at post 15.)
jacksont123 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 i think i have an idea, but i need to know how to press 'right ctrl' and scrolllock twice? i don't think the following works: Send("{RCTRL}{SCROLLLOCK 2}")
