    Similar to this[^]? That way you'd have an unusable drive that consumes power. How about disabling the entire drive?

          Superglue. Use a screwdriver to remove it. Disconnect the wires. As you see, lots of options available :)

                    Users either have access, or they don't. You're looking for a "Child Safety Lock" for your employees? :)

                          If you have the VB code, it should be fairly easy to translate... ...by someone who knows both VB and C#... ...me, not being one of those people.

                            CD/DVD-Rom lockout? Why? What would prevent them from using a USB flash drive (or some other USB device) and using external files anyway? (I assume that is what you are trying to prevent.)

                              This tip[^] I posted sometime ago disables it, but not permanently. You could make the app run at start up (perhaps a service) so it is effectively permanently disabled.

                                Not a code example, but you can disable CDROM/Remoable Driver/etc. in Windows' Group Policy (at least in Windows 7)
