Disable the Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete Operations in Windows 7, Vista, XP

You might have faced a situation where you need to leave your computer in front of some body, your friends or relatives. You have some private data in your pc and you don't want any body to do any thing with that. That is just one case. You might be also in trouble if some body delete important files in your system. You might think if there was any option to disable or remove the cut, copy, paste and delete functions in windows. Then wait here is a way to disable the Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete functions.

Here is a small standalone (run without install) application that will simply deactivate or disable the cut, copy,paste and delete functions in windows.

All you have to do is to run this application and you will get the required options disabled.

When you want the Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete options again in windows you just need to press Ctrl + Shift + Esc and the Task Manager will open up. And just stop the process named stopper.exe in it by right clicking it and selecting End Process.

But if some experienced users come they will easily get the options you disabled back just by doing the above step.

So you can rename the file to some thing similar to system process like winlogon.exe or system.exe etc.. so no body can easily find it out.

you can make this application to start along with windows. To do it just create a shortcut of this program and paste it in the start up folder of windows.

You might ask Can'r the user copy cut and paste by using the windows shortcuts. The answer is no. This program will also disable the windows shortcuts too! and yes one more it will work with all the windows versions.

You can now leave you pc to your friends or anybody you like without fear.
