MC11: CD Burn not available under limited user account
« on: May 01, 2005, 09:39:45 pm »

When I run MC 11 under a user account in the administrators group, I can burn CDs with no problem.

If I logon to my machine as a user in the "Power Users" group, the software shows no CD burners available. If I choose detect in the CD Burner options in MC, no drives show up.

If I then move that user to the administrators group, everything works fine. Move them back to the Power Users group, no burning capabilities.

Strange. Do you have to be an admin to burn CDs with MC? I believe I can burn CDs with WMP as a Power User. I also thought I was able to do it with previous versions of MC too.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

Try opening up write access to the CD burners for all users using this:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/tmp/SetBurningRights.exe

Let us know if this works for you.
