I am running XP. I setup a limited user for my daughter so she can play her
own games. the problem is that she does not have access to either of the
CD-rom drives to play her games. Can some one tell me how to enable the cd
drives under a limited user?

Hi,

There's nothing blocking a limited user from using a CD drive. Can she view
them from Windows Explorer? What if she inserts a CD into the drive (let's
call it D, then clicks start/run and types "D:\setup.exe" (without the
quotes) and clicks "ok"?
