Sorry, was making a TIC comment. Then offered a possible alternative solution that may or may not work.

TIC ? Whats that if you dont mind me asking.. I know you were just trying to help Lonman I know you know your stuff! Youve helped me several times with your knowledge! Im just frustrated. Its hard to hear dont hire anyone you cant trust when both times we got burnt it was actually family members that did it so Im thinking if you cant trust family you cant trust anyone else. Thats why Im so desperate to find a way to do this. I was told that Windows has a built in "read only" thing we can try will that work you think? Im running Windows xp home

TIC - Tongue In Cheek - a joke. As far a Windows (any version) Read Only does not prevent copying the files. It only keeps them from being written to and is easily turned off.

Funny thats been bugging me all night trying to figure out what it means! lol! Thaks for telling me And thanks for the info about the read only thing. I WISH there was a program to do this! Its only going to get worse the worse the economy gets more pirates needing $ & will steal anything & everything they can if they have to Grrr!

TIC=Tongue In Cheek. I've honestly never had a problem with anyone i've hired in 20 years, well except one host that that he could take the show - that didn't happen.

Must be nice! I WISH I could be a better judge of character sad though I even judged my family wrong LOL! You just must be one of those big burly guys who everyone is scared of messing with

[Lonman]

No not really big guy. Guess I have just been lucky. I try to hire people with no experience to start with. Family hiring is always a no no even friends are often no no's. Usually customers that do not try to be the show, decent singers (although not always a stout requirement), good with people, and have never really shown any 'interest' in being a host - these are usually the best hosts. I usually shy away from people that WANT to be hosts because they see hosting as not a job, but as a night to party & sing - these inquiries are 99% turned down.
When I was mobile I did all the set-up & tear down of every show - even the ones I didn't work, but did have a couple people I could have do that as well if needed. Mainly wanted to make sure everything was set right so all the host had to do was walk in & turn on everything.

There is software to password protect a USB hard drive but I suppose that is of no use unless you set Hoster running yourself.
This is the site: http://www.newsoftwares.net/usb-secure/
Usb secure is the product I was referring to.
