Media players ability to Copy music CD's

[Mark]

Hi

Is there away to disable Window Media player for XP's ability to copy music
CDs on machines with CD Writers? I had a look at the deployment kit but that
doesn't even come close

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

From the Help section of Windows Media Player:

To burn your own CD:

On the File menu, point to CDs and Devices, and then click Burn Audio CD.
The Burn feature is displayed.

In the Items to Burn pane (the left side of Burn), select the playlist in
your library that contains the digital media files that you want to burn.
To add digital media files from other playlists or categories in your
library to the playlist of items to burn, or to remove items from the
playlist, click the Edit Playlist button .
The number of selected items and total time is displayed at the bottom of
the Items to Burn pane.

If necessary, clear any check boxes for items that you do not want to burn.

Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW in your CD drive.

If necessary, when using a CD-RW disc, click the Erase disk button to erase
the CD.

If you want to change recording or data CD settings, such as the CD write
speed or quality level, click the Display properties and settings button .

In the Items on Device pane (the right side of Burn), click one of the
following:
Audio CD
Data CD
HighMAT Audio

Click the Start Burn button

Hope this helps.

Where is the rest of this thread or at least original post?

Without knowing more.....

Disable native CD burning in XP

Right click the CD in My Computer, click Properties/Recording, Uncheck
"Enable CD recording on this drive."

To prevent the change from reverting, go to Start/Administrative
Tools/Services. Scroll down to IMAPI CD Burning and set to disabled.

Allow or Disable CD Burn Options (23)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
