    Hi,
    Sorry it this is in the wrong section. I didn't know whether to post in Software or Hardware.
    I changed my account from Administrator to User as advised on this site.
    I am using Windows XP Pro SP2
    When I open ImgBurn with that account it shows "No Drive Detected"
    Indeed it works perfectly well with an Administrator account.
    With the User account, I can open the drive and play a DVD with no problem.
    When I open the proprieties of the Drive in Admin mode, I find no Security tab.
    So can someone please tell me how to grant access to the DVD Drives to a User account.
    Thanks

    In the My Computer screen in the Admin account click the drive and drag it to shared documents on the left side menu.
    This will give use permission to all user accounts on the machine.
