CD Writer access to limited accounts in XP Pro SP2

[Otter]

I have a single computer system running XP Pro SP2 with an administrative
account (parent) and two limited accounts (kids). The limited accounts do
not have access to the CD writer. I would like to give the kids access to
the CD writer, but can't figure out how to set the permissions. I would
appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider On
the Edit menu, click Permissions . Click the registry key for the user that
is currently logged on and ensure that Read and Full Control are both set to
Allow . Click the Advanced button, ensure that the user is selected, that
Full Control is listed in the Permissions column, and that This Key and
Subkeys is listed in the Apply to column. Click to select the Replace
permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply
to child objects check box. Click Apply , and then click Yes when you
receive a prompt to continue. Click OK , and then click OK again

(Pro edition only)
Go to Start/Run, and type : GPEDIT.MSC Local Computer Policy> Computer
Configuration> Windows Settings> Security Settings> Local Policies> Security
Options> System Objects: Default owner for objects created by members of the
Administrators Group. Set this to "Administrators group" instead of "Object
Creator".

Thanks for the information but just so I am straight on this, do I do BOTH?
Or one or the other?

Thanks.

Both might help, but doing either wouldn't really do any harm in a small LAN
or single machine setting. Some admin setting is out, and these two are the
likely candidates.
