Guest smackedass Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Hello, I know it's got to be possible, somehow, but is there someone out there that can provide a link that can tell me how to restrict a certain user profile/s from using a DVD drive? The mom, of course, wants to be admin, and wants her kids to have limited access, including use of the DVD drive. Thanks, in advance, smackedass
