Prevent executable running from network share

[bbanelli]

Greetings to all,

is there a programmatic (and preferably an easy) way to prevent user running executable from network share? It's all fun and games when there is a classic network path (starting with "\\"), but what about network drives?

TIA!

Hello bbanelli,

give GetDriveType_() from the WinApi a chance

Look here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... 85%29.aspx

Code: Select all

  
    StartDrive$ = Left(ProgramFilename(),1)    
    If GetDriveType_(StartDrive$+":\") <> #DRIVE_FIXED
      MessageRequester("STOP","Can´t start program from this device")
      End
    EndIf
