Appreciate your advice :-) Open "My Computer", right click on the CD/DVD drive icon and select "Properties". Click the "Recording" tab and then uncheck "Enable CD recording on this drive". You can also completely disable built in XP CD/DVD writing by disabling the XP IMAPI service. Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services -IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service - Startup Type - Disabled. If you have 3rd party burning software installed you will need to also uninstall it. John Hensley www.resqware.com

How to disable write access for CD/DVD drive?
Hi John,
Thank you very much for your advice. :-) I presume that by unchecking "Enable CD recording on this drive" - I am only restricting writing on that particular drive? Whereas the other option "disabling the XP IMAPI service" completely disable CD burning for all writable CD drive? Can I confirm this also apply to DVD writable drive?

How to disable write access for CD/DVD drive?
Hi Wesley,
Thanks for pointing me to the group policy setting on “Remove CD burning Features”. I was searching for this solution on Microsoft technet but couldn’t find any info (group policy or Registry setting). Is there a link or document where I can get such info in future? thanks for your advice. I’m curious about the other option of disabling IMAPI CD-Burning COM service. As both are disabling writing to the drive, is there other differences between the two options? Thanks very much!!!! :-) -- asterisks~ "Wesley Vogel" wrote: Disable CD Burning If XP Pro or Home, edit the registry...

This only affects software that used the IMAPI service for burning CDs and DVDs and not 3rd party burning software that install their own drivers for writing the discs. -- John Hensley www.resqware.com "Asterisks" wrote: Hi John, Thank you very much for your advice. :-) I presume that by unchecking "Enable CD recording on this drive" - I am only restricting writing on that particular drive?

How to disable write access for CD/DVD drive?
I don't know of a policy to disable the IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service.
MS used to have a pretty good Windows 2000 Group Policy Reference and Windows 2000 Registry Reference. I think they're phasing them out because of Vista. Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Registry Reference http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...y_overview.asp Jim Boyce's site is pretty good. Gives the related registry reference for the policy. Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 Group Policies by policy name Number of policies in database: 844 http://www.boyce.us/gp/gplistall.asp -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

Nero and most other 3rd party software don't use IMAPI for writing to CDs so this is why my previous reply had this step that you might have missed: "If you have 3rd party burning software installed you will need to also uninstall it." -- John Hensley www.resqware.com

From there, give only authorized people the password to that account. I know there are ways around that, but at least it kept casual users at bay. Regards

"noumman" wrote in message ... hi guys i am looking to disable read option from CD/DVD Drive while i want it to burn CDs and DVDs for users in windows 2000 pro and xp? is this possible? No, you cannot burn if you don't even have read access to the media, especially if you want to verify the data that you just burned.
