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

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

        Don't forget to rate answer, that helped you. It will allow other people find their answers faster.

            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)
