Security Policy Setting for Detecting CDs Left in Drive?

I would like to know if there is a policy or registry
setting I can enable, so that if a user leaves a CD in
their drive, and they try to shut down or log off, they
will be alerted with a pop up window. I believe XP Pro
already informs a user if they leave a floppy in the drive,
but I'm not aware of the same thing regarding CDs. I need
to enable this sort of thing for networked and stand alone
PCs, to comply with security requirements that no removable
media is being left in a drive. Come to think of it, I
would need the same thing, too, for thumb drives left in a
USB port. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chuck
 
Thanks, but that's bit more control than I'm looking for. I
just want a setting that will produce an "Idiot Message",
telling a user that media is still left in a drive (or USB
port, if a thumb drive) when trying to shut down the system.

Thanks,

Chuck
