HOW TO WRITE PROTECT YOUR PEN-DRIVES | FLASH DRIVES|MEMORY CARDS ETC   


Why should we write protect our Flash  devices?    
  • protect it from viruses and other malware programs
  • USB drive is not a Read-Only Memory (ROM)
  • new flash drives do not come with a write-protect feature
  • enable this feature on your own computer avoid risk.
The process is very simple only you have to follow the steps below which I have given clearly.


STEPS:


1. Open the Registry Editor (Open the “Run” dialog box, type regedit and hit “Enter”).

2. Navigate to the following Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
 3. Create a New Key named as StorageDevicePolicies. To do this right-click on Control, and click on New->Key and name it as StorageDevicePolicies.

4. Now right-click on  StorageDevicePolicies and create a New->DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it as WriteProtect.

5. Double-click on WriteProtect and set the Value data to 1.
Now the right-protection for USB drives is enabled on your computer (no restart required) and thus it would not be possible for anyone or any program to add/delete the contents from your USB flash drive. Any attempt to copy or download the files onto the USB drive will result in the following error message being displayed.

To revert and remove the write-protection, all you need to do is just change the Value data for WriteProtect (Step-5) from 1 back to 0. Now write access to all the USB devices is re-enabled.

 ALTERNATIVE   FOR THE ABOVE STEPS                                                     


Sometimes it may seem difficult to remember and follow the above mentioned steps each time you want to enable/disable the write protection.  Using this tool you can limit write access to your USB drives with just a click of a button. You can download this tool from the following link:
