Abstract
A system comprises a processor, a display, an operating system executable on the processor and an executable application that is separate from the operating system. The operating system provides settings that can be used to control access to a removable storage medium. The application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that permits a user to select a security setting from among a plurality of selectable security settings and that causes the operating system to implement the user-selected security settings to control access to the removable storage medium.
Claims16
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a display;
- an operating system executable on said processor, said operating system providing settings usable to control access to a removable storage medium;
- and
- an executable application, separate from said operating system, said application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display that permits a user to select a security setting from among a plurality of selectable security settings and that causes the operating system to implement said user-selected security settings to control access to the removable storage medium.
A storage medium containing software separate from an operating system and that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- provide a graphical user interface to a user;
- and
- permit a user to select a security setting from among a plurality of selectable security settings regarding controlling access to a removable storage device.
A method, comprising:
- providing a graphical user interface (GUI);
- and
- receiving input from a user using the GUI, said input comprising a security selection made from a group of security selections for controlling access to a removable storage device, said group consisting of enabling access to the removable storage device, enabling access to the removable storage device in a read-only mode of operation, and disabling access to the removable storage devices.
A system, comprising:
- means for providing a graphical user interface (GUI to receive an input selection from a user as to a security control of a removable storage device;
- and
- means for controlling access to the removable storage device in accordance with the user-provided security control.
