How to enable CD Ripping / Burning for Restricted Users

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic or sign up to my Email Newsletter.

I had to use this at work. We had a restricted user that needed to burn with special software I use this to let them burn in the software. I found this guide at http://www.nch.com.au/kb/10008.html.

Run gpedit.msc this is the local policy editor on the computer in Windows.

Select the following:

Local Computer Policy ->
Computer Configuration ->
Windows Settings ->
Security Settings ->
Local Policies ->
Security Options

Enable the option ‘Devices: Restrict CD-Rom access to locally logged-on user only.’

You should now reboot your PC. Restricted users can now burn CDs.

It was very easy to do, and after I rebooted the computer our restricted user was able to show burning icon in the software that burns CDs for them.

I’m just using Nero for that. I don’t have a problem. It is very easy.

This is when you have a restricted user like in a business setting not a home setting. Greg Ellison
