I don't know of a policy to disable the IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service.
MS used to have a pretty good Windows 2000 Group Policy Reference and Windows 2000 Registry Reference. I think they're phasing them out because of Vista.
Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Registry Reference
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/deployguide/en-us/regentry_overview.asp
Jim Boyce's site is pretty good. Gives the related registry reference for the policy.
Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 Group Policies by policy name
Number of policies in database: 844

Hi Wesley,
Thanks for pointing me to the group policy setting on “Remove CD burning
Features�.
I was searching for this solution on Microsoft technet but couldn’t
find any info (group policy or Registry setting). Is there a link or
document where I can get such info in future? thanks for your advice.
I’m curious about the other option of disabling IMAPI CD-Burning COM
service. As both are disabling writing to the drive, is there other
differences between the two options?
Thanks very much!!!! :-)

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called

If XP Pro only, use Group Policy.
Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | Click OK
Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\
Windows Components\Windows Explorer\
Remove CD Burning features
Windows Explorer allows you to create and modify re-writable CDs if you
have a CD writer connected to your PC.
If you enable this setting, all features in the Windows Explorer that
allow you to use your CD writer are removed.
If you disable or do not configure this setting, users are able to use
the Windows Explorer CD burning features.
Note: This setting does not prevent users from using third-party
applications to create or modify CDs using a CD writer.

Hi,
I'm trying to disable the write access for CD/DVD drive but still allow
user to read from the drive. Is there a way to do this in Windows XP?
Appreciate your advice :-)
