This program does exactly what I need and I would even buy it, however, in the three laptops I have downloaded it, the main screen opens once, I´m able to turn the write protection on, but then when I tried to reopen it to change this option it just won´t open. Tried deleting the file but the protection is still on.
Could you please help me with this? I can´t open the program again.
Thanks for the nice feedback, and sorry for the problems. First of all, once the protection is enabled, it’s written into the registry file, and is thus enabled even if you delete the application. So, this explains one of the problem you are having.
Now, the other issue, where you can’t see the dialog again, can you please check your Windows Notification area (where all other mini icons in the right side of task bar appears)? You can also toggle the various protections by right clicking as shown here: http://www.syedgakbar.com/theme/images/products/usb/screen-05.png
If still can’t figure this out, please let me know.
I have a problem with the software I run once and I block the usb ports we now cover but I can not restart I was trying to redownload but it still does not work and so I can not use a USB key , can you help me please ?
I’m sorry for the trouble. If you run this tool, but can’t see this, can you please check your notification area as this is where it goes by default (if no window is displayed). If still can’t find this and need to enable this, you can try to edit the registry your self as explained here: http://www.tweakandtrick.com/2010/07/disable-access-to-usb-ports-in-your-pc.html
But please be very careful when editing the registry, as incorrectly deleting any entry or messing it up may result in Windows booting to fail as well.
Running Windows 8.1, downloaded and installed your USB Disk Manager. When I try to run the exe, no program interface appears, but the software has write protected all my USB ports, and now there is no way to enable the write function. Have tried running your program in several compatibility modes, same result, no visible program interface. Is there a way to restore USB functionality manually? What gives?
When you run this software it appears in Windows Notification area. Double click the icon there, and you should see the options to enable or disable the features. If still run into any issues, please let me know.
good software

Thanks a lot Akbar, this software is great!!!
Tried on windows7 64 bit, but not working. Is it support win7 64bit?
Yes, I use this myself on 64-bit. Do you get any error when starting this up or it simply doesn’t load?
