Removable Access Tool (a.k.a. Ratool) is a simple to use portable freeware application which aids in the control of external storage devices such as USB flash drives, CD/DVD drives, as well as floppy, tape and WPD devices. Ratool can disable USB storage access or enable write protection on all USB flash drives, thus preventing data from being modified or deleted, protecting your confidential data from being copied by others.
There are many such tools available online, but they are often easily circumvented. For example, if you use one of these USB disablers to disable a flash drive, someone could simply use another tool and enable it again. This means these tools are not actually protecting your USB ports, which is why we created Ratool. By using Ratool, you won’t have to worry about this, as other tools cannot easily break Ratool’s protection.

Hi.
Can ratool works with command line?
@neffer
Click once on "Options -> Allow Access to All Removable Drives". Remove the USB and plug it back in.
He bloqueado todos los puertos USB y hasta el momento todo bien, pero al momento de cambiar los puertos o mas bien desconectar el mouse o teclado, al volverlos a conectar no los detecta y no se que hacer, NO ME DEJA HACER NADA.
como lo desactivo para volver a usar el teclado y mouse????
i have blocked my usb port , but unfortunately i forgot my password. i request anybody can tell me how the ratool password can be removed. help me out of this
Hi , It may be caused by the program you are viewing the pdf. Try to open the pdf file with different software such as Chrome, firefox…
Hello,
I have been using Ratool for a few years.
I’m facing a special case with files stored on a USB key. The write protection is activated.
I can open all files that are on the stick, but no PDF (message: Adobe Acrobat Reader couldn’t open "text-all-holes.pdf", because the file type is not supported or the file is damaged …).
If I disable the write protection, it opens without any problem.
What could cause this weird problem?
Thank you
Best Regards
Eric
It didn’t come to our mind 🙂
It’s funny that the program is called "Ratool".
After all,it is based on "RAT"-which means a living creature mouse/rat.
And in the human sense,this is theft/attempted hacking by third parties,thus "ratting".
I personally-will never use it,but I am sure,that this program is necessary.
Thank you for sharing such a great tool ! It would be perfect if you can add a command line for complete operation, I hope you can increase the command line operation function!
(谢谢您能分享这么很好的一个工具软件！如果能增加命令行进行完全操作就完美了，但愿能增加命令行操作功能！)
Hi.
Thank you very much for the tool.
This tool works fine on a specific pc. when I move the usb device to another pc the protection doesnt work. Do you have any tool that locks the usb device itself. so I can move the usb device between any computers and the usb device will be protected.
Thank you
For recovering lost passwords, I think you should provide this as an addional option, because brain of human never be perfect.
Many mistakes is caused by human errors, not machines.
If users decided to lock the tool by their own password, they should have 2 options:
1. Recoverable
2. Non recoverable
That’s the best for forgetful people.
We are really tired of “I have Forget my Password” questions
1. How do we know if you don’t want to crack someone else password ?
2. Why did you not used Password hint ?
3. How did you conclude that we offer a service like password reset?
At first we made such a mistake and let the cheaters crack other people’s passwords, but we haven’t been doing it for a long time.If you forget your windows password will you ask it to Microsoft ? they will not help you because Remembering the password is user’s responsibility
i forgot my ratool password . how it can be recovered please tell me
Merci, ce soft fait partie de mon point de vue des meilleurs utilitaires.
Thank you for your understanding Adry
Hi, Author. Yes, make the password recovery a paid option. It will help your business and of course will help people that lost the password. If I lost the key of my house, I also need to pay to regain access, so, it is perfectly fair to charge this service!
