I have a locked down system where the built-in CD burning functionality has been disbled. This work fine until I introduce a CD formatted for packet writing created on another machine. I am then able to use any application and ‘save as’ option to write the file to the CD. Using this method I am able to get around the lockdown of not being able to write to CD set using the GPO or registry update. Any one know how to stop all built-in CD/DVD burning? I have 3rd party software which must still be able to burn.
