CD Burning with limited accounts.... again

I posted a while back about allowing non-admin users to burn CD/DVDs.  I ran into a machine today that wouldn't respond to the registry fix and I was working remotely so I didn't want to mess with the Nero BurnRights utility (because it has to install and requires a reboot).  So I got to digging around again and came up with another fix.  It's called BurnRights (just like the Nero utility, but it's not the same one).  It's put out by a company called Poikosoft.  Strangely, I wasn't able to get the file directly from their site.  They reference it in the help section and even link to their download page from the help section but the file isn't listed.  A bit of Googling will find it on some of the software download sites and I was able to download it from there.  After running it through a couple of virus scanners to make sure it was legit, I gave it a try.  It has a really simple interface (see pic below), double-click to run the program, click on your drive (if you have more than one), and click OK to let it work it's magic. That's 3-4 clicks depending on your setup.  The best part is that NO reboot was needed and NO installation was required

Automating Workstation Renaming

Sorry it's been a while since I posted.  The holidays came up and there was a lot of other stuff going on that had to be taken care of so blogging got pushed to the back burner.  Have no fear, I'm back. 

I still plan on finishing out the virutalization info but my ADHD is kicking in and I'm moving off to another topic.  Renaming workstations...

I know I've already covered this earlier with an AutoIt script.  But I came across another utility that's even easier to use so I thought I'd post it here. It's David Clarke's Workstation Name Changer and you can find it over at http://mystuff.clarke.co.nz/MyStuff/wsname.asp

It's got great documentation so everything you need is over there on his site.   So go check it out already.
