How do you make the root of a flash drive read-only?

How do you make the root of a flash drive read-only? I'd like to make my flash drive read-only just for the root to stymie the Trojan Dropper autorun.inf's and bad EXE's on computers I'm fixing.

"There is a tool from Panda, which is called USB Vaccine and creates an unwritable autorun.inf file on your usb drive by abusing the FAT32 filesystem spec.

If you are using NTFS, you can just allow create folder and create files for child folders only. But keep in mind that usually those trojans will try to reset permissions to the root directory first (if they are running with Admin privileges or System privileges)."

You can use an SD card reader. SD cards all have write-lock switches.
