    Lightbulb CD ROM enable / disable

    I have a CD rom on my machine which seems to be disabled. What is the registry key through which you can enable / disable CD ROMS?

    Cheers,
    Abhijit

    I got this script to disable my CD rom drive.


    Code:
    REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom]
"Type"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000004
"Group"="SCSI CDROM Class"
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000000
"Tag"=dword:00000002
"DependOnGroup"=hex(7):53,43,53,49,20,6d,69,6e,69,70,6f,72,74,00,00
"Autorun"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\Enum]
"0"="Root\\LEGACY_CDROM\\0000"
"Count"=dword:00000001
"NextInstance"=dword:00000001

    there *may* be (forget what they're called ) rule-set files in the root directory that get read at start-up. Commonly used to disable Network Neighborhood, and other things. Just rename (or remove) and re-boot and the rule won't get added to the registry.
    Don't get in trouble doing it, though. Wouldn't want to be a network "hacker"
