Vospers Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) I would like to remove the Copy command from the Interpreter, is this possible, if so how?Is an Exe called by the Interpreter when the Copy command is issued, if so which one?Thank you.

Mijzelf Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Copy is an internal command. So the only way to remove it is to use an hexeditor to change command.com itself. Search for a list of internal commands DIR CALL CHCP ... When you rename copy here, or change it to lowercase, the command will be unavailable. I suppose you'll have to delete the external xcopy too.

Scroll down to hex address 00010b60.You will find copy in that line represented by: 43 4f 50 59Change those numbers and you will see the text in the right col. change too. Or, click your mouse on a letter,,,,change it by typing a new letter over it and you will see the numbers on the left side change accordingly.After making the changes you want, save the file. COPY will no longer be recognized by the Command interpreter.Good Luck Edited April 16, 2007 by Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vospers Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thank you both for your interest, editing command.com worked without any problem.Can you advise about somehow being able to cripple the copy/paste function in 98se?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there's a system policy somewhere that will take care of it.
