NoDelete. Direct D/L only, because I couldn't find a description page

W95/98 and (I think) ME. No idea if it works on other OS's.
File protection only, no folders... though the whole contents of a
folder can be drag and dropped at once.
This is a superb app, for protecting files from deletion while allowing
access. The app must be running for protection to work. the app can be
P/W protected to ensure no messing with it. As well as user defined
files, there is also the option to protect loads of system files etc.
Looks to be wholly efficient and reliable. Tested on 98SE.
Extract from readme follows
===============================
NoDelete protects any file (upto 510 of them) with one of 3 protection
options (you
can control each file and protected by what method...):
1 - The file can be read and modified, but it cannot be deleted/renamed
or moved.
2 - The file can be read but cannot be modified/deleted/renamed or
moved.
3 - The file cannot be read or copy/modified/deleted/renamed or moved
(total-protection)
Whilst the NoDelete main-screen is visible, the files in the list are
NOT protected.
Only when NoDelete is invisible and the NoDelete icon is in the tray are
the files
listed, protected.
Password Protection : You can set password protection on/off with a
password of your choice.
FOR BEST PROTECTION
-------------------
Protect the shortcut to NoDelete in your StartMenu/Startup.
Also protect the NoDelete.exe itself along with the Protected.Dat to
stop people:
1 - Deleting the shortcut, thus preventing users from stopping NoDelete
from starting up.
2 - Deleting or Modifying the NoDelete.exe itself
3 - Deleting or Modifying the list of protected files.
Then password protect it by using the Menu Option in NoDelete. You will
be required
to enter a password and then verify it. Make sure you do not forget your
password. If you
do forget, the password is held in the Windows Registry, under Current
User/software/
VB and VBA Programs\NoDelete\Pass\Word2\ - Your password is held in the
value here.
Use RegEdit or similar program to access registry - only "play" with the
registry if you
KNOW what you're doing, if not, you could end up screwing Windows and
having to reinstall
everything. You have been warned! - Just don't forget your password!
EACH individual file dropped into the NoDelete Protection list can be
INDIVIDUALLY set
to any of the 3 protection modes available, giving much more flexibility
and control over
how each file can be protected rather than the full-list all using the
same protection.
