Re: Ntfs Drive protection v1.0
Cool.
with "Ninja Pendisk" I could not keep an "AutoRun.inf" on my drive
"Ntfs Drive protection" protects my autoRun.inf file so I can assign a custom icon to my flash drive.

How do I get 2 or more unprotected folders?
Are there apps similar to "Ntfs Drive protection" that I don't know about?

1. Right click a folder and select Properties > select Security Tab
2. select "Everyone" user > click "Edit" button and tick Allow full control box then press Apply and Ok button

Re: Ntfs Drive protection v1.0
I found an app similar to "Ntfs Drive protection"
BUT it needs Framework .NET 2.0

Re: Ntfs Drive protection v1.0
Interesting stuff but neither the NTFS Drive Protection program nor USB Storage Protector give any insight into how they work. If a virus or worm is targeting external drives, wouldn't it target any write functionality disabled by these tools?
Re: Ntfs Drive protection v1.0
Yes, if these tools become popular. I'm afraid they're only security by obscurity.webfork wrote:Interesting stuff but neither the NTFS Drive Protection program nor USB Storage Protector give any insight into how they work.

- For what it's worth and from what little I have read on it (including some user comments), I summoned that Ntfs Drive protection mostly changes filesystem permissions, tying the ability to make changes to the first computer you use to set the drive protection (hence the NTFS requirement)... everything will be gone upon re-formatting the drive, though.

Re: Ntfs Drive protection v1.0
"Ntfs Drive protection" may not be a silver bullet but it better than nothing &
protects my autoRun.inf file so I can assign a custom icon to my flash drive.
Love custom flash drive icon I do.
Also see http://www.raymond.cc/blog/stop-windows ... utoruninf/
I like Bitdefender USB Immunizer & Ninja Pendisk but they don't let me custom flash drive icon.

We need an app that does this automatically on eject & PC shut down.

Re: Ntfs Drive protection v1.0
If we're taking precautions, I'd like to see it integrated with a drive-filling mechanism. There are a few different programs for the drive filling / permissions handling but I wonder why they haven't been combined yet.Island Boy wrote:may not be a silver bullet but it better than nothing
I think one of these has been discussed on here before but I can't seem to find it.
