Advanced Drive Protector is intended for PC users who want to protect, hide and Lock their local, network, Floppy and USB drives, and disable the AutoRun feature for them to ensure both security and privacy. This software lets you apply a range of security options to individual drives ranging from hiding options to access security restrictions.
The main advantages of the program are robustness and simplicity. When you use Advanced Drive Protector, you get a great protection in a very simple and elegant way. The drives you apply protection to become protected from within Windows Explorer and other Windows applications such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Office and so on. To activate protection for a drive, you just click an appropriate checkbox with your mouse.
When you hide certain drives, you make them invisible to other computer users. Just click on the Hide checkboxes located in the drive letter group boxes for the drives you want to hide and press the Apply button. After you reboot your computer the drives you hid will disappear from My Computer. You can still access them if you know the drive letters.

Once you protect all the necessary drives, you should password-protect Advanced Drive Protector to prevent an unauthorized access to the security settings you enforce. Your Access Password, if assigned, will be asked each time you open Advanced Drive Protector. This software can be run only under an administrator account, which means that your users will not be authorized to uninstall it.
