That's something you better solve with OS's built in tools and not with some software of yours...Look for file encryption in Windows...

Protect your laptop with password and your friend wouldn't be able to copy anything. ;)
If you woud like to perform such of protection, you have to write windows service which detects insertion of removable media and does not allow to copy/move data to this media.
I'd suggest to read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy_protection
