Abstract
Disclosed is an information processing apparatus which ends application programs when a recording medium is pulled out. In step S, it is determined whether or not a Memory Stick is loaded in a Memory Stick slot. If a Memory Stick is found loaded, the procedure goes to step S. In step S, a display program and a reading program are started. In step S, it is determined whether or not the loaded Memory Stick is being accessed. If the loaded Memory Stick is found being accessed, then, in step S, the Memory Stick is locked. In step S, if the Memory Stick is found pulled out, then, in step S, the display program and the reading program are ended.
