📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how to prevent a specific file from being writable on any disks. The original poster wants to prevent a particular file from being modified or saved over in a shared network environment due to a virus spam. A suggested solution involves setting the file as read-only, but the original poster clarifies that this does not fully prevent writing since the file can still be renamed or overwritten; they seek a more robust approach to block the file from being written at all.

I want a specific file to never be able to written on to any of my disks. How would i go about doing this?

Hash checking or name checking will be suitable.
 

Solution
Have you tried right clcicking - properties and marking it as read only?

You can still write to the file, but cannot save it with the same name.

Basically my problem is (long story short)

There is a publicly shared network share (win7, just basic workgroup setup), which has a constantly changing folder structure, someone has a virus on there computer, and basically it spam's every folder in there with a file. I don't want that file to be every written in that share.
