On a PC with Win 2K SP1. Using CD Creator I am able to burn a CD if I log on as an administrator. If I log on with less rights I get a 'No Access' message. How do I give standard users the necessary rights to burn a CD

Have you done anything with policy editor? that might cause problems like that. By default the admin should have access to all resources. If you dont either check if some one has been working with PE on the system on remove/reload the application

It turns out that the reason you need administrator access is that The CD writer software needs access to the entire registry in order to update the files that it uses. If it does not have access to the registry then the software will not run correctly.

but thanks for your help and sorry not to get back to you sooner. Usual problem..........been a little rushed!

You need other version of burning software or give to the users local admin rights!?
