program to automatically detect usb device

[Shivkumar]

Dear labview users,

                                   I wanna build a program such that when a USB device (pen drive/ memory stick) is connected to a PC, it has to detect the device and prompt the user to provide a password and then only the user gets the accessbility to open the memory stick.  This is mainly for security purpose of the PC, such that in no condition without the programmer's knowledge no one should transport the data from the PC.

                                   To add more to the program, this labview program should be run in the background in all the time in the sense that even the labview program is triggered by the user or not, it has to run all the time in background without anybody's intervention. when a memory stick is connected it has to prompt the password.

                                    Is this possible in labview, Iam using labview 8.0. If anybody gets solution to this young chap's idea please response to this query.

Labview lovers.....

Hi Shivkumar,

Would it be acceptable for the entire PC to be in a way "locked down" untill a password is entered once a pen drive is detected? Or would you simply want the password dialog to pop-up when they try to double click on the actual drive under "My Computer" to access the data? Also, if the password is not entered but the pen drive is remove, should the password dialog box disappear?

Best regards,

Steven
