    And if your application hangs, user will have to restart the computer to open cd/dvd 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)
