• John Dekker Hiding the hard disk

  how do i hide the hard disks of the pc to prevent user's from accesing them using vb.2005 you cant really do this in .NET im afraid, its a Windows thing. do you mean not showing it within your application via say a folderbrowserdialog/openfiledialog/savefiledialog classes You probably should elaborate on why you want to do this. For example, if your goal is to restrict user access to certain system resources for a point-of-sale or kiosk system then you should use Windows security policies to restrict the user, not your program code. Hi, I reckon you would have to turn off the START MENU or / and HIDE the "MY COMPUTER" icon. Not sure how you would do it though. Troub ...Show All
