How Windows XP will limit the average user to use the optical drive

  
How can the administrator in Windows XP limit the use of optical drives by ordinary users? You can use such a solution: 1. Open the "Administrative Tools" → "Computer Management" console → "Disk Management" console; 2. Right click on the CD-ROM icon, click the "Change drive name and path" command; 3. Delete the original CD-ROM drive letter (don't care about the warning message), then click the "Add" button; 4. Select the "Load the following blank NTFS folder" option, and specify the path of the blank NTFS folder, so mount the CD-ROM drive Go to the specified NTFS folder (assuming it is in C:\\CD-ROM\\O); 5. In this way, you can only access the CD-ROM through "C:\\CD-ROM\\O", and set NTFS to the directory "C:\\CD-ROM". Permissions, ordinary users can not enter. Note: 1. Cannot set NTFS permissions directly to C:\\CD-ROM\\O. 2. By setting NTFS permissions, you can open a side to individual users, which is much more practical than disabling the optical drive directly in the device manager.
