How can an administrator in Windows XP restrict ordinary users from using an optical drive?

can adopt such a solution:

1. Open the "Administrative Tools" → "Computer Management" console → "Disk Management" console;

2. Right click the drive icon, click the "change drive letter and paths" command;

3. delete the original CD-ROM drive (disregard the warning message), then click the "Add" button;

4 Select the "Load the following blank NTFS folder" option and specify the path to the blank NTFS folder so that the CD-ROM drive is mounted to the specified NTFS folder (assuming it is in C: CD-ROM drive O);
< BR> 5. In this way, you can only access the CD-ROM drive through "C: CD-ROM drive O". Set NTFS permissions to the "C: CD-ROM drive" directory, and ordinary users will not be able to enter.

Precautions:

1. not directly on C: drive set NTFS permissions O.

2. By setting NTFS permissions to individual users can lenient, than to disable the drive directly in the device manager is much more practical.
