Keywords: USB Thumb drive read only
Is there a way to make a USB thumbdrive totally read only to everyone, except myself who would be able to read write etc to the drive.
Normally we give out CD_ROM, so this is not an issue, but we have been getting requests on-site for a usb drive with the proceedings on it for those folks with tiny laptops without a CD reader.
That last bit (System) ensures that only the most hard core nerd can find it, let alone delete it. The only way to see a System file in Windows Explorer is to clear the Hide Operating System Files check box on the View tab of the Folder Options dialog. In addition, clearing the System tag can't be done in Windows Explorer. The only way to clear that flag is with the ATTRIB command, which must be run from a DOS prompt.
