This video addresses one aspect of the problem, ie. employer's network admin wants to restrict general users' access or operations. This is easy (as the video has shown).

But, I'll bet most people who search for this video actually wants to do ANYONE from duplicate a file (particularly executables) from being duplicated to, say, elsewhere or another machine. This video won't solve this use case at all.

Useless video, The blog reads, 'How to prevent files from being Copied', not opened. I have a .jpg file that I want people to view, but not to be able to copy or print. I realise they still can obtain a bad quality screengrab anyway, but stil, why make image theft easy?

hi

I want to sale a pdf to my customers that should be read on android.

But I need:-
The pdf must open with a password which is under control of me.
(I mean the reader can't piracy or copy-paste the pdf to others.)

But if we can't stop him to piracy it then we make the pdf must open 30 times only with that given password after that it expires and the pdf can't open.

Will you have these options?

Please tell.

Thanks.

how to disable copy-paste local computer windows 10

[jimbritttn]

totally useless!

I need a way to prevent others from copying Access database from the network folder onto their desktop. Many times they will do so 'thinking' they are creating a shortcut. The result is that when I update the database they aren't seeing the changes.

[librasun]

this doesn't work for files or folders found in other drives because there's no Security Tab option on them. Only works for files on drive C.

What I want is that it doesn't matter they copy the file with their usb but it should be rendered unrecognizable on other computers. It can be the other computers my require the originated computer name to open it, or they may be prompt with password when they insert it to other computers which should cause confusion because password/restriction was not required during their copy. In short, copying - no apparent restriction; inserting-opening on other computers - not allowed.

Hope you can help.

Hello, I have looked at your video, but it does not answer my needs. My need is, I have written a cookbook with pictures and recipes and I want to market that, but of course, someone can buy it and give a copy to a friend, so I want to protect the USB pin from copying my book, in otherwise, you have to buy my book as it comes in a USB PIN, and use it, but you can not copy it to your computer or give a copy to a friend, so if you have a solution please help me with an easy way and slow explanation, thank you very much. I can advertise your channel on my YouTube, for being my help.
