Hi Everybody,
I want to develop a application which should ask for a password when a removable device is attached to a pc that is set by the administrator. Otherwise it should not show the data of the device attached.

Source code I prefer is c#, but if any other then I would adjust it.

I am also curious how to program this. But for my own removable device as a USB stick I use Microsofts Bit Locker Encryption. You must fill your password otherwise data is not visible

I think you can post this as the Solution. I saw 2-3 Questions almost identical to this one and using encrypted drive was the only one feasible solution from all what was suggested.

Do you want to protect data on removable device or do you want to protect PC from removable device beeing attached?

OK, it is detected, now what? I doubt it will lead to the solution.

...or similar software. I doubt the password on mounting of the device is easy to implement if even possible. My 5.
