Protect data from copy & drop drag file

[Freetime]

Hi all

I'm a newbie, I'm beginning to learn Autoit, and I love it

In my idea of protect file by Autoit, I have DATA foder (E:DATA) and I don't want any body copy (or drag/drop) files in it to USB disk.

How can I do it ???

or... how can i listenning a source folder of copying process for close it ???

Sorry for my bad English

While 1
Sleep(10)
Local $copy = ClipGet(), $datafolder = "E:\DATA"
$pr = StringInStr($copy, $datafolder)
If $pr = 1 then
ClipPut(" ")
EndIf
WEnd

With this code, i can clear clipboard when they copy/paste, but... it not work if they drag/drop file ?

you can block folder access with a windows ACL

You can test if you want

More easy...

_CheckPath()

MsgBox(0, 0, "Yeah, work!")

Func _CheckPath()
If @ScriptDir <> "E:\Data" Then
MsgBox(0, 0, "Hey, don't steal my script!")
Exit
EndIf
EndFunc ;==>_CheckPath

People can copy, drag-drop but work only in the path E:Data. For additional protection, you can check an HWID of a component of your pc, or simply check it out the computer name with @ComputerName using the same method of the @ScriptDir

EDIT: I think i have misunderstood, you want to protect the folder, not the script. Use a password protected .zip, it's most safety. There is everytime a way to copy a folder, example with a live cd.

Thanks johnmcloud ! I need to protect folder from copy (to USB disk only), but user can read write and execute...

but user can read write and execute...

The Idea of Zipping[Password Protected] is good. U could extract to read write and execute

there is a Zip UDF in the Forum written by wraithdu
