Hi !

When using the LocalSystem account, I can't access SCSI cdrom drives,
especially not in a service.
I used sysinternals winobj to add read and write rights to System, without
success. Besides system, the only user that has rights on Cdrom0 is the SID
of the current logon session.
I used Keith Brown's cmdasuser tool to get a cmd as LocalSystem and I get
"access denied" when issueing "i:" which is mapped to my cdrom drive. When I
load cdplayer.exe, I get an MCI CD audio error. The same happens when I do a
CreateFile on Cdrom0.

Any suggestions ?
