allowing READ only, no printing, no saving to desktop and no ability to attach

On our Network we have many "shared" folders. These are
usually word doc's, excel, sometimes PDF files. The
problem is even if I give a user READ only access they
still have the ability to copy the file to thier desktop,
print it or burn it to a CD orcopy floppy OR even browse
to it on the network and attach it in an email.

How do I create a TRUE "READ ONLY" access where 98% of the
users can actually ONLY READ the documents and do not have
ANY ability to copy it print it save it anywhere and
certainly not browse to it on the Network and attach it in
an email and send it out of the company.

More appreciation than I can say if someone would be kind
enough to help me out here, or point me in the correct
direction. PLEASE email to: Beaniesway@aol.com

I don't think that this is possible unless you have control of the machine
that reads the file in the sense of the "trusted computer" initiative(i.e.,
you don't allow the reader to use any application that saves the file and
don't allow any program with screenshot behavior to run).

Are you trying to protect the content of the file, or just prevent the file
itself from winding up on the internet?

Later, looks like rms does this.
