If you have the user set as a standard user (as opposed to that will prevent them from installing most applications. Additionally if you go to Control Panel: Administrative Tools (may have to select the link to show &quot;classic&quot; control panel icons to see this): then select the Local Security Policy application. You'll find you can control a significant amount of things. For instance under Local Policies: Security Options there is an option as to who is allowed to &quot;Format and Eject removable media&quot; which can be set to Administrators only. I'm not sure how this will work in the way of burning media but I imagine it'll work. I don't have a Windows XP machine any more but that should do the trick. Good luck!<br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
