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.

Hello good day
After running Defender 1.6, said "I’m done and enable", but when I turned on the defender, it turned out to be a group policy. What is the solution?
Thank you…
(Merhaba İyi Günler
Defansı çalıştırdıktan sonra işim biti ve etkinleştir dedim ama hata verdi defenderi açtığım zaman grup ilkesi diye birşey çıkıyor çözümü nedir?
Teşekür ederim…)
Hi lutz, Thanks for your comment we have noted it down.
nice tool, i miss one function to schedule enable/disable usb drives, e.g. i make backup on different usb drives on different days to prevent encrypting those backups by ransomware it would be great to have a scheduler to enable a specific usb drive just before backup and after backup job is completed to disable usb drive
Like a Nightmare, How can so many people forget their passwords, I think we will make the password reset process paid.
I lost access to my 1000GB normal HDD (3 partitions). Is it any possibility to recover it (get access to it?
Thanks for your Nice Comment Veera
Thank you very much for the update.
I love the simplicity of Ratool interface and its capabilities. Thank again for this wonderful website and
Tremendous programs.
Dear Sirs,
I’ve installed ratool in my accounting laptop. Now I need to upgrade its hard disk to a SSD disk and I cannot find the password in my records. The password hint has not been useful in this case. How can you help me to recover or reset it?
Thanks
Salut, je ne me souviens plus du mot de passe pour accéder au programme. Comment puis-je le récupérer
Hi, I can’t remember the password for accessing the program anymore. How can I recover it…
thanks
Hello, first of thanks for the app, it really works well and has helped at my workplace. I know you said that you are no longer helping with password recovery, but is there a way that I can prove to you that I am indeed the supervisor here. I installed it at request of my boss on 3 of our computers, and now I’m trying to install new mouse on them and its not installing them because of the app. I really need to change them and I dont want to reset the computers just because of the password. I would really appreciate the help, please tell me if there is a way to prove to you this. Thanks!
Hi, I’m Richard from Italy, I put ratool in a server and forgot password..please send me a procedure for enable usb.
