Password-protected security utility to hide and lock local, network, USB drives.

Easy Disk Drive Safeguard is a password-protected security utility that you can use to hide and lock your local, network, Floppy and USB drives as well as disable the AutoRun feature for them. When you hide or lock your drives, they become hidden or unavailable in all Windows software such as Windows Explorer, Outlook Express, Microsoft Office and so on. You can disable the AutoRun feature for specific drives or for certain drive types. If you disable the AutoRun feature for drive types, you can, for example, disable the AutoRun feature for all USB drives, for all CD/DVD drives, for all RAM disks or for all removable HDD drives. The design of the program is very simple. The main window contains the boxes with drive settings that represent individual drives and the toolbar used for applying changes. All you need to do is to click on the checkboxes with settings and after you finish press the apply button. If desired, you can apply password protection to the program to prevent your users from changing the security settings you enforce. This software can be run only under an administrator account, which means that your users will not be authorized to uninstall it. This software has a very nice easy-to-learn user interface. Excellent help system is also available.
