Vb Programmers – How To Lock Cd Rom Drive?

Hi people, Im currently programming in VB6 (not .net unfortunately)
Im making a security programme which basically dissables a lot of windows stuff that makes it vunreble in public use.
IE: Access to hard drives, control panel, so on so forth
Im looking for 2 things as I have done the majority of it my self now.
a) How to lock the CD rom drive doors from opening (and if possible an answer for detecting multiple CD rom drives and locking them)
b) Disable Delete File, Move File, Rename File
If you know a registry value which does this please let me know so that I can start scripting it right away. If there is no registry value con you supply the code with explanations on how it works so that I can learn how to use it or a link to a website as all I get is “Download” software already made for users who want to disable the drive.
(You can post a link to an OCX but id much preffer to learn how its done my self than to leach of some one elses code)

    Hi
    I think you need to change the registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftware
    MicrosoftMediaPlayerPlayer
    Settings
    Modify/Create the Value Name [EnableDVDUI]
    according to the Value Data listed below.
    Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: EnableDVDUI
    Value Data: [No = Disabled / Yes = Enabled]
    You should be able to change this value under VB program control.
    Best of luck!
    Regards
    G
