Software to lock CDRoms?

[Bires]

As some of you know, I host a video game club at school. I've been fairly concerned about piracy and theft, particularily of software that gets left in the drives of the PCs.

Does anyone have any cheap or free way to control when PC drives are opened?

Wouldn't disabling the drive (in device manager) be the easiest?

Might limit the ability for the video game club to function.

You can just load up the hacked .exe from gamecopyworld. It lets you play the game without the CD after the game is installed. I buy lots of games and I use it so I dont have to keep switching CDs.

:agree:
That's probably your best bet...

[Bires]

Good idea. :bonk: Strange that I didn't think of that. I used to be quite the pirate...but I digress...

Should load a lot faster too. So, as long as all the games have the same crack, they should still communicate with each other ok...

Or you could use Alcohol 120% to make a virtual drive and mount the game to that drive.
