Enable Cd Recording

I know you can enable cd recording by right clicking the cdrw drive and check
enable cd recording from the recording tab, but is there a way to enable
recording for several drives. I haven't yet found a way to make sure that
feature is checked for several different drives.

Maybe I need to be more specific. I'm looking for a way to make sure enable
cd recording is enable for whatever CDRW drive I choose without a manual
step. Being that each CDRW drive has a specific GUID turning on "enable cd
recording" through the registry will not work for multiple instances. I
pretty much need a way to turn on that option for several computers without
the manual step a user has to apply.

When you install Windows XP, CD recording is automatically enabled
by default if a CD-R or CD-RW drive is present.

but if you install another packet writing software like DLA, it will uncheck
it and uninstallation does not recheck the "enable cd recording" option.
