Hello, I work in DOS enviornment. Is it possible that nobody can use CTRL+ALT+DEL to terminate the program? Also is it possible that nobody copy to and from HDD?

Attrib can be used to prevent access to files and prevent copy command from being used on these invisible data. attrib +h c:\*.* /s To revert use the minus sign and the /s that explores folders and sub-folders.This is fair protection and crypting may be a better solution if you know your users have a good dos knowledge.Good luck.
