Retrieving Data from a Flash Drive

[Wyko]

I am making a parental control program, that forbids kids to use their computer unles:

1: Their parents type in their password, or...

2: They use their flash drive "key" to open the comuter for a set time frame.

Now, I want to know a few things.

Most importantly, how do I know when the user has inserted the flash drive? My idea: Use a timer to search the computer; if any new drives suddenly show up, search its first directory for the "key" file. Is there a better way to detect the inserting of the drive?

Next, how can I retrieve a file from that drive? Is it just a normal file retrieval, or are there special things I need to do?

And last: I need a secure way to lock the computer, withou using the lock workstation. I was going to use block input... then I realized that they wouldn't be able to type in the parent's passcode. Any ideas?

Thanks!

if you use the file system object to check which type of drive each one is.

Yes normal file retrieval.

Well, thats a hard one. just about any of the simple things you do will be easily cracked by any 10-year old. So you are going to have to do some thing a bit more drastic. Unfortunately I have no idea what that would be.
