On a standalone XP box, can a policy or profile be created that would prevent a user or group from having access to the cd and a drive? How is this done and does it matter XP home or pro?

Absolutely!

Start, Run, Gpedit.msc
User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer

Select "Hide these specified drives in My Computer", and Prevent Access to drives from My Computer, and specify the drives you want to prevent access to.
