If the drive is shared out on a Win2K server, why not just set the share
permissions to give the proper access to the proper groups? You can set the
permissions on a per group basis to Read, Change, Full Control, or No
Access.

Subject: Restricting access to a CD-WR drive on a Win2K Server

I have a client requesting an ability to restrict access to a CD-WR
drive on a Windows 2000 Server. It is a CD-WR drive shared over an
enterprise network; in other words the ones accessing the drive are not
at a local console.

They would like to be able to grant read/write access to the CD-WR drive
for a certain group of users, and only read access to another group of
users. Is there any registry settings that can configure this? Or, if
not, can anyone suggest a utility that has such functionality?

(They were hoping Windows has some built in functionality that can do
this; I suspect, though, that it would take a 3rd party utility to
achieve this.)
