CD Drive not accessible to user, works fine for Administrator WinXP User 10-26-2006

Please log in for more thread options
We have 3 Acer PCs (2 with brand new CD drives) where the user (limited

access) cannot access the drive.

We use Active Directory and the users log into a domain, not locally to

the PC. We've changed the security settings for these users as follows:


security settings --> local policy --> user right assignment ----> load

and unload device drivers = everyone and then again for specific user

security settings --> local policy --> security options ----> devices:

allowed to format and eject removable media

But it makes no difference.

I can access the CD drive fine through my account (full access) when I
log in.

The funny thing is that the user can access the drive if they log into
the domain with a CD in the drive.

Any help would be appreciated.


Kevin
