[OPLINTECH] CDR/W for public workstations

[Mann, James H.]

Chris
Once again, I'm either way right or way, way wrong....
I just finished upgrading a handful of Gates computers with both
frontside USB and DVD/R-W. They are running XP with the Gates lockdown
tool. XP seems to handle the burner with no unusual problems.
The need I was trying to fill was for patrons who bring in their CDs and
want to edit a project. I went with DVD/R-W because they were cheap and
IMHO CDRW is about dead.

Chris,
 
We thought about CDR/W drives, but came to the conclusion that they
would be too much of a hassle.  
 
The better option is to open the USB ports and allow the use flash
memory drives.
 
If you are concerned about people running executables from the flash
drives, take a look at a program called Trust-No-Exe.

	Hello,
	We want to make CDR/W drives available to our public.  We are
using Win XP sp2 and Office 2003.  We are using Microsoft Group Policy
Management and Public Web Browser to control the public workstations.
Are any of you providing CDR/W drives for your patrons to save
documents?  If you are, we'd like to know how you are configuring the
public PC.   TIA
