    How can i prevent my MEDIA from copying, renaming, deleting by User


    Hi, how can i restrict User from copying, deleting and renaming my Media?

    All my videos, musics and pictures are located on "Desktop" with one folder and i would like to restrict User from copying it to external device such as cell phone, flash drive, external hdd and etc., and also i want to restrict user from renaming and deleting it.

    Would this be possible without using any third party software? If not, can you recommend light software that can do this.

    Thanks in advance :)

    If they can read it... they can copy it! Writing and deleting can be prevented by NTFS permissions
