A really nasty CPU intensive way to disable copy and paste would be this (but you could always start the script as low priority)

Code :
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Navigate("about:blank")
l=0
DO
objIE.document.parentwindow.clipboardData.SetData "text", ""
Loop until (l>1)

end task on the script to stop it and allow copy/paste

win32 api would be much better though.

ok, please bear in mind this is not THE BEST WAY to achieve disabling copy and paste and that an EXE process that behaved in a proper none CPU hogging way would be the better way to do it. . Rather than attach a written EXE that might scare people into thinking it was a virus. I suppose u could attach an EXE that would achieve the same thing hehe easy eh

anyway to use the script do the following

open notepad

paste this code into notepad (not including the word "code"

Code :

Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Navigate("about:blank")
l=0
DO
objIE.document.parentwindow.clipboardData.SetData "text", ""
Loop until (l>1)

then save to desktop as disablecopypaste.VBS

note it MUST be saved as .VBS file, not a .TXT file.

then run the script (double click it) and in task manager lower the priority of the script process to LOW. To prevent the computer respose being to slow. Then open a notepad or whatever and try to copy and paste text . To bring back the ability to copy/paste, end the script process in task manager.

Note the process the script runs under is wscript.exe


to use it automatic do this

you COULD place a copy of the script in here

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup


--------------------------------------------

Alternatively, i would actually save the script from before here (or copy it to here)

c:\windows\disablecopypaste.VBS

Then i would open notepad again and paste this into it

CODE
cmd /c start /LOW wscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\disablecopypaste.VBS


the save this here

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

as startcopypaste.BAT

This will then make the feature automatic from logging into any account and also will run the script in the low priority automatically, so not to hog the CPU quite as much etc


if it doesnt work and a pop up shows this error

[
Windows script host
Script : C:\windows\disablecopypaste.vbs
Line : 5
Char : 1
Error : openclipboard failed
Code : 800401D0
Source : (null)
]

then change the MAIN script by adding a line to the top of it so it read this


On Error Resume Next
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Navigate("about:blank")
l=0
DO
objIE.document.parentwindow.clipboardData.SetData "text", ""
Loop until (l>1)

That should sort it.
