[OPLINTECH] CD writers on Public computers

[JKENZIG]

Assuming you are using windows XP use the Policy to hide the C: drive and My Computer and then just put a shortcut for Windows Explorer on the desktop. Also look up the Microsoft Shared computing kit for help with lockdowns and policies.  XP allows you to drag and drop copy files to a CD writable drive within explorer.

Subject: [OPLINTECH] CD writers on Public computers


I'm sure this issue has been brought up in the past so I apologize.  We would like to make CD writers available on Public computers.  Our concern is making them available without compromising computer security.  I don't want to give the public account access to the C drive if I don't have to.  Currently, we have Windows 2000 and we are using Active directory settings to button down on what the public has access to.  The new computers will be running Windows XP.  If anyone out there has implemented this, how did you go about doing so?
 
Thanks,
