    twinBASIC Kernel mode driver demo

  • To prevent them beforehand reliably would be extraordinarily difficult in VBA... you could hook the low level APIs called to perform those operations, but that's no easy task. A file system minifilter driver is the ideal way to go about it, but as that's kernel mode programming you couldn't do it in VBA, you could only do it with great difficulty in VB6 (and only if you had 32bit Windows), and slightly less but still extreme difficulty using the x64 VBA language using twinBASIC, which includes features to make kernel mode drivers (here's a proof-of-concept hello world driver, written with the VBA 64bit language, capable of running on 64bit Windows 10/11). I'm currently working on a proof of concept minifilter driver for just such an application, but since Microsoft's minifilter driver samples don't actually work even when compiled unchanged from their C source, it's quite challenging.
