Hi,

I know when a file is opened in exclusive mode no other application or process can access it.

But I WANT to open and also view the file in exclusive mode, say a PDF file.
Actually I need to restrict cut & copy permission for a file when it is opened.

When the file is opened in Exclusive mode and meanwhile if I try to copy and Paste the file it says "cannot copy It is being used by another person or program".

I want to make use of this condition and would like to open and view the file.

I have an encryted file which I decrypt programmatically to get actual file and open it for viewing. But I dont want every one to copy the file.
So, I would like to open and view it in Exclusive mode and when the file is closed I will programmatically delete the file.

Is this the right approach?

I am opening a file for viewing using "start myfile.pdf" from COMMAND line.
Are there any other options for Start with which I can open the file in Exclusive mode.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
SATYA
