Hi,
It seems that on my Win2000, non-administrators cannot access the CD-ROM
drive via certain programs. These include iTunes and FreeRIP (both latest
versions), although for some reason, the CD-Player supplied with the
operating system does allow access to non-administrator users (a music CD
certainly starting playing for one user). I have even tried to make users a
member of PowerUsers - but with no luck.
I had a look at the local security policies, but couldn't find anything that
would unrestrict the cd-rom drive. Windows 2000 is fully up to date with all
service packs and security updates.
I really only want to allow users to rip CDs.
Is this a Win2000 problem, an iTunes problem, or just by design?
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
