You can minimize accidental deleting of files by changing some of their attributes. As to whether that will impact the running of the app I don’t know, you will have to expirement and see what happens.
Open a Command Prompt window and switch to the directory of the flash drive. Assuming F: is your flash drive’s letter at the Command Prompt enter:
F:
Your prompt will change from C:\Users\you> to
F:\>
Next enter:
ATTRIB
Then to the files you want to protect enter:
ATTRIB +R filename
This will make the file read only and will stop accidentlal deleting of the file. It will not stop deliberate deleting if intended and should not impact the use of the file.
You could try:
ATTRIB +S filename
But not sure if that will impact the use of the file. If it does then use:
ATTRIB -S filename to remove the attribute.
You can probably do some of this thru Windows Explorer and the Properties function of a file if you want to try that approach.
Have fun.
