Dear Friends,

Does anyone have a good idea how to disable the A:\ drive
temporarily, to prevent students using diskettes?

If I disable the drive in the Bios, My Computer tries to find it and is
unhappy. I can disable it in Device Manager, but anyone can
activate it. Can I password protect the Device Manager?
I don't want to open the case each time and disconnect it.

ideas?

many TIA,
