Trying to create some Spy Code
You know in the beginning of MI:II where Tom Cruise throws his glasses and they explode after he see what his mission is? Well, I am looking to write some code (maybe even just an autoplay .bat file) that would delete or corrupt a file (or the entire CD) after it has been run.
The exact use I have in mind is this: I am creating a video, burning it to a CD (could be R or RW), and giving it to someone. Easy enough, but I only want them to be able to watch the video ONCE (assume they are running XP on a Dell E1505), and so I am looking for something that will prevent them from being able to watch it again. Whether this is a registry key created that disallows access to this particular CD, or a script that corrupts the video file in question, I have no idea. Even something that would forbid access to ALL CDs (or even just disable the CD-ROM drive) would work, because then I could just undo it myself.
Truth be told, I'm not totally sure where to start - or even if Python would be able to do what I'm looking for - and am just looking for some ideas. If I'm in the wrong place, a pointer in the right direction would be great; I'm just posting in the Python forum because it's the language I'm currently learning and thought this would be an interesting project to build toward (even if it is a little above my pay-grade at the moment).
Thanks in advance,
Chuck
