Not simple. About the easiest way (and it's not so easy, I assure you) I can think of is to hook certain APIs and check for applications targetting the floppy drive. There are various SDKs available for doing system-wide API hooks, but they're not free... at least US$499 not free. There's an article on API hooking, with a variety of handy links, here: http://www.internals.com/articles/apispy/apispy.htm hth. -- Corey Murtagh The Electric Monk "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
