Hi,

I am using WinXP. But CD/DVD access is not possible for
user with non-administrative right. I have to have system
administrator manually grant CD access right to non-
administrator users.

My question is: can I detect if user has the right to CD
in my own program? If yes, can I set the right
automatically in my own program? And it will ge great if
you can give me details on how to do that.

Thank you very much!
 
Hi David,

The setting is here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AllocateCDRoms"="0"
