Your Administrator has prohibited access to your CD/DVD ROM drives

But I'm the Administrator and the only account on the machine.
Running Windows XP Pro with all updates.
I watched an MGM DVD circa 2002 (not a Sony CD. As far as I can tell,
there's no DRM software on it) and now I cannot get access to my A drive, CD
rom, DVD, or one of my usb ports configured as a removable drive. In
exlorer, it looks like a "do not enter" sign (red circle with a slash
through it). When I boot the PC, I get a pop-up error window titled
"Restriction Warning" with the message: "Your Administrator has prohibited
access to your CD/DVD ROM drives". I've tried removing the hardware and
letting windows find it again. I've done all the appropriate spy-ware/virus
sweeps. It appears that something has changed the registery to prohibit
access to anything but the boot drive. I am the only user and I have
Administrative rights.
Any ideas on how to regain access to the prohibited devices? I can't find
anything by searching databases. Even Google comes up empty.
