administrator have block my access ?

Hi, i have a weird trouble with my computer.

i have windows xp pro, i'm the only user, and administrator of the computer. but now windows telling me that " the administrator have block your access to the cd/dvd drives" and now i cannot access any kind of disk i put in my drives. anyone have seen this before and know how to solve it ?

 

Did you play around with Group Policy or installed any program that modified it ?

 

not to my knowledge. are there any way to check if i did ?

 

logon as the actual admin. on xp pro, from welcome screen, do CTRL+ALT and tap DEL twice.

 

After logging in as Administrator, Run->gpedit.msc <enter>.

The Group Policy editor would open, find the entry 'Restrict Access to Removable drives' (or something like that) and set it No.

 

Spooky....?

What exactly will this do?.

I have a stand alone, first time XP Pro machine that I am still learning. I am the admin, although, it created a couple other users too, one being my first name.

Thanks,
DEM
