Reply Me Fast It Is so urgent

Did you try adding the registry entry manually to prove that the actual hack works?

Also, what is the purpose of this?

Please don't go on about how urgent it is, you'll end up getting less assistance as it makes you come across as demanding!

Hmmm...No, I won't check it in my system. I'm not a guinea pig for your code.

If you don't know how to manually edit the registry, then that should be your starting point, so google on how to do it.

You're trying to add a registry entry using code, if you don't know how to navigate the registry, how can you tell if the key was added??

So you should do the following:

1. Learn how to navigate the registry. It's not difficult, but can be "dangerous" if you don't take care.
2. Add the key manually to confirm that it works. If it does, move to step 3. If it doesn't, then no point moving to step 3.
3. Remove the key, then try it again using your code. Confirm the key has been added.

Unless you do it in that order, you will never know where the problem actually lies!

Your code may be functioning correctly, but if the registry entry doesn't work, then it will never work.

Hey I Have Simply Said That I Don't Know About Registry.I Have Added the code to the registry successfully.But i want to know about how can i make a drive inaccessible.

You said you didn't know how to add a key manually?

If you've added it to the registry manually and it hasn't worked, then no amount of changing your program is going to fix that, until you find a registry hack that works.

I asked you originally, what is the purpose of doing this, as there are maybe other ways to do it.

If you don't know about the registry, then how do you know that you have added the code to it successfully? Also, what kind of drive are you talking about? A hard drive or a CD-ROM drive? And do you mean a drive or a folder, really?

And finally, you're beginning to sound pushy. Stop sounding pushy, or you'll find yourself pushing on air.

[shihabudheenpk]

Iam saying about the ordinary drives like c or d etc.

[maj3091]

For the last time I post on this, because you refuse to answer my questions.

What is the purpose of it as there may be other ways to do it.

Please explain the scenario.
