When using Nero 5 to write a cd, the user have to have a admin privileges on the box. Any way around this?

Try giving the user full access permission to the CD-ROM drive. If it's the system that's causing this, that should fix; if it's the Nero software, it might not.

Please define in detail what is "full access permission".
Where and what. I have been trying to solve this for awhile.
Got me to the point looking in the registry.
Thanks.

Whatever folder you are trying to burn to the cd needs to have the permissions set so that the user that is logged in has "full control". Nero is using the permissions of the end user (because the software does not have an account).

If the end user doesn't have sufficient rights then neither will Nero.

When Nero is started, it doesn't even recognize the CD burner. This is on OS level. Files being burned need only read permissions, so they could be read (btw I am the owner of the files).
