Can any script or setting be written (autorun file?) to disable formatting of a USB Flashdrive? (Win XP, via Windows Explorer > Format)
I'm aware of write-protection, but I don't want to completely prevent modifying files, instead something like what a Group Policy setting could do?
Edit: Really what I'm asking for is a registry setting or else that I can modify on USB drive startup to tell Win XP not to format drive X:
