Hi i am not good at writing c++, I tried writing this in Bat but i can't figure out how to change registry keys. I know you can do alot more with C++.

Okay I am trying to create login system that can do this:
1.startup on all users.
2.disable explorer.exe, Taskmanger, and all other folders until password entered.
3.Be able to lock the hard drive or wipe it if the password is entered wrong 3 times.


reason why i want this created because can have the file encripted to were no one can remove it off the laptop.
so that data on my computer can not be stolen or seen. If stolen hopefully they enter the password wrong 3 times
and wipe the hard drive clean without warning.

If someone can help me out that would be great, or point me in the right direction.

(add in also possibly whip the bios to, But i doubt that possible)

How is this a password login system? This is essentially the same as a ransomware trojan as far as I can tell.

It a more of a advance one that actuallly have a password not like the ransom trojan. It will be used on my computers to prevent data stolen

You don't think some ransomware trojans out there are unlocked via a password? I can refer to one right off the top of my head right now that required a password to unlock the user's files, and to get the password you would need to send money to a 'secure' location first in return.

I really wouldn't make it so easy to wipe a harddrive. So you're saying, if the password is entered incorrectly 3 times (by a user who clearly does not have permission to be accessing the system) ..it grants the unknown user option to wipe the system's harddrive ..not a good idea at all, man. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, I'm no C++ expert, but I'd be interested in this application if you get it figured out securely!

Another good example of why this is not very smart. What if you're in a rush, forget that you only have 3 password attempts because you've already done dozens of successful logins in the past (effectively forgetting the "features" of this implementation), and mistakenly make 3 incorrect attempts on your own?

If someone wants into your PC for any data, hence, probably the reason why you want to protect the hard drive data, don't you think that unless they do not know about the 3 attempts "rule," that they are going to try maybe 10 times with possible passwords? Of course, before reaching the 3rd unsuccessful attempt and realizing that they invoked a portion of code that was to wipe the data off your HDD...

This is really unethical. If it was smart, I'm sure that of the many operating systems already out there, at least one of them would have already implemented this within the OS directly. Unfortunately, this is obviously not the case.

I mean I could understand its use if it were on a constant cloud backup of some sort, but that would use quite a bit of memory unless you were overlapping, but not many cloud programs really have the option to just overwrite (properly I should say).

Okay, I understand it un- ethical, the thing is It is a security risk because I do alot of music, and Contracts writing. which i dnt care about being stolen. I have other stuff on here. Basically I am currently re-thinking the idea. With-out the whip. I am going to write a basic version and hope i can get it. And it makes sense.
