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.
