Story

So there is this new functionality built into Windows XP and Windows 2003 that allows for configuring arbitrary fixed disk volumes to be write protected but no tools currently anywhere to do this. I caught wind of this new functionality on the ACTIVEDIR.ORG listserv and started digging into it... Sure enough the functionality is there and all you need to add to your normal Platform SDK for Windows programming is the DDK file ntddvol.h. No extra libraries, nothing. 

Download

You do not have to supply the email address. I would like you to fill that in though so that I have an idea on how popular a tool really is. If I see 1000 downloads with 900 different email addresses I know it is more widespread than one that has 1000 downloads and 200 different email addresses because the same person needed to keep downloading it for some reason.
