Removable Storage



Hi there,

I was trying to see if I could deny a user from accessing the CD-ROM drive
under Windows XP Pro.

I opened the Computer Management panel. I opened the properties page of
Removable Storage and in the Security tab I assigned Deny all to the users
group.

After I did this step I can't click on the Removable Storage anymore. I
receive one the following error message:

"Access is denied. The snapin's display may be inconsistent with the
Removable storage service. If the problem persists please restart the snapin."

or

"Access is denied. You do not have sufficient privilege to perform this
action. You can find the privilege needed on the security property page."
Although I'm using an Administrator account.

Does anyone know how to fix this or what it means ???

I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks.
