Had high hopes as I have been searching for this type of software for sometime. In actual fact it is not the flashdrive being write protected but the usb ports on your computer. You have to run the app on all computers as you suggested. You will also find any usb storage devices you plug in after running the software will be write protected as well on a computer or computers you have enabled the write protection function. Furthermore any permanently attached usb storage devices such as external hard drives will also be write protected. I like yourself was hoping the flashdrive would be protected on all computers it was plugged into but the computer does the write protecting & not the flashdrive. Hope this clears up your concerns if you haven't already worked it out. Hi John, I downloaded this app a couple of days ago.

How come? Should we do the locking at each computer?

I realise it's not as good as a physical switch, but very few USB drives seem to have this now, although it used to be standard a few years ago. Progress, eh?

I have a microSD card, with an SD adapter & a USB SD reader, the SD adapter has a write-protect slide switch...THAT is a REAL hardware-based write-protect...if you want to write-protect your USB, look for the hardware slide switch BEFORE buying one...
