Prevent

Preventing users from messing around with your file system is one of the toughest thing to implement on a Windows machine.

Prevent, this small utility allows the computer owner to disable Copy, Paste, Cut, Delete, Copy To, Move to and Send To options as well as prevent renaming of files. Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V are rendered function-less too. Disabled options are grayed out in explorer’s context menu.

Prevent also disables the Task Manager’s End Process button. Also it doesn’t allow you to right click on process name and click on end process.

The downloaded zip file consists of:
1. Prevent.exe
2. Pre_1
3. Pre_2
4. Read Me file.
5. Uninstall

Run the Prevent installer setup. The installer only places the Prevent folder in the system Program Files folder. A desktop shortcut will also be created. To run the program, click on Prevent. Set your Hot key to stop Prevent. You may set it asCtrl+P if you wish. Hotkeys Win+F8 kills Pre_1 and Win+F9 kills Pre_2, too. But the single hotkey set by you will kill all Prevent processes at the same time.

Prevent :

1. Stops Cut
2. Stops Paste
3. Stops Copy
4. Stops Delete
5. Stops Copy To
6. Stops Move to
7. Stops Send To
8. Prevents renaming
9. Disables Task Manager’s End Process button. Also, it doesn’t allow you to right click on process name and click on end process. It also grays out the context menu items, disable Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V and/or stops the process.

To uninstall or remove Prevent, use the Uninstaller situated in the Prevent folder, or uninstall it via the Control Panel or simply delete its Program folder.

Note: Since the application disables the Task Manager buttons and makes some system changes, some antivirus programs may identify it as malware. Rest assured that the program is clean and its a false positive.
