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.

How can I disable ratool
Добрый день. Помогите пожалуйста. Установил программу и полностью заблокировал флешки. Понравилось! Установил пароль и забыл его…
Как теперь разблокировать программу?
Hi Diana , Administrator privileges are required for the program to run. The program implements its settings for all users. It means just One installation for all users.
Hello. I would like to known if the program works for every different user of the PC. The PC has 2 accounts, 1 for the administrator, and other account with restricted permissions. Is it necesary 2 different installations? 1 for each account?
Thanks

Hey Sordum Team,
I like this software so much, easy to use, very staight forward, however the "white list" mode does not work for me. Could you help me to get that work?
I already tried to rename my drive to see if that helps, but unfortunately it didn’t.
