Send to CDRW

I am using 2000 server and XP workstations. I was
wondering if there is a group policy setting in 2000
server that blocks restricted users from sending files to
the cdrw or copying and pasting to the cdwriter folder. I
can do those things as an admin but not as one of my
users, so I think a policy setting is preventing them from
doing it. Any help is appreciated. thanks
 
What is the error message you get as a normal user when attempting to write
the the CDRW folder? Some CDR software requires access to write to the
registry which non-admin users do not have.
 
hmmm, I will check into that, no errors the options are
greyed out so they can't be clicked. (paste and paste
shortcut). Send to Cdrw option is not in the list when
right clicking on a file. Drag and drop attempts don't
work. Happen to know a registry hack to allow users use of
a burner? or is it cdrw driver specific?
 
You could run regmon and then give your users permissions to all the keys
the CRDW touches in the write attempts.
 
I gave my users full access to the registry (as a test)
and they still could not "Send to Cdrw" or paste to its
folder. Any other thoughts are welcomed.
 
Even if you grant you users full access to the registry they sill won't have
access to some portions of the security hive. Even administrator's don't
have full permissions there. Make them local admins, find a CDR utility
that is designed to allow non-admins burn CDS, or run regmon to find all the
keys your current app requires.
