I am concerned that a system could become a Malware vector / Malware hub. It's a touch screen running Windows 7 that the users can plug their USB Flash Memory into.

I would like to know if there is a way to disallow the copying or running of executable data from any drive other than C.

I assume this would inhibit any Malware migrating from the USB Flash Memory. Right now my software only needs to read text files from the USB Flash Memory.

    I hope you realize that giving user access to the physical hardware and the running system gives them complete access to everything they could possibly need in attacking that device.

You can use Faronics's Anti-Executable software that, basically, blocks execution of software not authorized by you to run. Here: http://www.faronics.com/en-uk/enterprise/anti-executable_en-uk-2/

  • Ideally I was looking for a native windows way to do it rather than running some software that only has a 12 month license (this is a kiosk after all). But since I didn't specify that I'll give you the tick.
