In this example you can see how to lock access to the CD-ROM drive by following these steps:

1. Launch the registry editor (You can launch registry editor by typing regedit.exe in Start/Run option , or C:\WINNT\Regedit.exe)
2. Search for the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\Winlogon
3.Create a new string entry named AllocateCDRoms , and set its data value to1 to ensure that only the local logged-on user can access the CD-ROM drive.
On the other hand, if the string entry's data value is set to 0 , all restrictions are lifted.
4. Exit the Windows registry . You might have to restart the Windows session for changes to take effect.
