prevent hot linking with windows OS?

[anime-me]

ok im not sure if this should be here but i couldn't find anywhere else to post it.
i currently run a windows server and i would like to prevent hotlinking on my site BUT i can't use .htacces so is there any way to prevent hot linking? i post my links on bulletin boards so i can't hide the deep links to my media files.
i would really apreciate the help.

I found this on http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/56868.html though I don't think its free but its a start.

Just do a search for hotlinking on www.hotscripts.com and you will get more stuff. One I saw is this one http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/47372.html

It seems to work on windows servers since it uses php.

It doesn't matter whether the computer is running windows or whatever. What does matter is what web server you are running. If you run the Apache web server then using .htaccess works provided that you have the web server configured properly.
