How to Stop Your Friend From Copying Data To Pen Drive

1. Open the run dialog box (use the shortcut win +r)

2. Type in regedit, hit enter, this will open the registry editor .

3. Now navigate to the following address:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

4. If you are a window 7 user, then you will need to add a new folder here, right click on the pane > new > key and name it StorageDevicePolicies.

5.Open the StorageDevicePolicies by clicking on it then right click on the plane >> New > DWord (32 bit)>> rename it WriteProtect . Modify it’s value to 1 to enable write protect
.
RESTART THE SYSTEM FOR THE CHANGE TO TAKE PLACE.

**How to remove write protection**

Ok, when you need to take the data from your system for your own, just change the value of WriteProtect that you created above, to 0 (ZERO). Now this will get disabled and you can copy data now.

TIPS

To make this trick work you have to restart the computer.
Make sure you have used the correct spelling to rename the key.To avoid any confusion try copying from the page itself.
