CD Burner Rights

[Guest]

What do you do if the CD burning app that you use does not have a tool or
executable to assign burning rights to users other than administrators like,
say, Nero does? I would like to assign rights to Power Users.

You assign rights through the Security tab found under Properties.

You could also assign rights globally to Power Users via the Control
Panel --> Administrative Tools.

If you can't do any that, you're not logged on as Administrator.

Here's what I did:

I assigned full rights to the CD burning-program executable for Power Users
(all boxes checked, just like Administrators) via the Security tab while
logged in as Administrator.

When I logged off as Admin, and logged on as a Power User, I could launch
the burning program, but it couldn't or wouldn't find the drive (CD burner).
Is this a security/rights issue?

I logged back on as Admin and looked at User Rights and Security Options
under Administrative Tools. There are a lot of settings here, and it wasn't
clear to me which one I should change or how to proceed.

One that I would try is "allowed to eject removable ntfs media" where you
can also include power users. That user right also allows user to format
removable media which was added to it's description in XP. --- Steve

The suggested setting change did not work. However, I found a registry entry
that did; it controls access to removable drives. Why isn't this in Security
Options?

You know I recall someone else saying something about that in the past. It
may be the security option for preventing sharing of the cdrom drive which
in XP is called restrict cdrom access to locally logged-on user only. You
might give that a try. --- Steve
