Oh Vista, You Don’t Always Have To Protect Me

I can take care of myself.

Problem: Trying to burn a DVD over Remote Desktop

Error Message: If you are running Nero burning software via Windows Remote Login, you might not be able to access your drives for burning. This is a security restriction from Windows

Solution: Taken From Here. I noticed when I was searching to the solution to this problem, not a lot of people had the answer. And the only site that I found – wasn’t in English. I was surprised Nero didn’t have it as a FAQ on their site.

Start Group Policy Editor – Go to the Start menu and type in, gpedit.msc

In the left pane of Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Removable Storage Access.

In the right pane of Group Policy Editor, change the value of the Setting, All Removable Storage: Allow direct access in remote sessions, to Enabled.

Exit Group Policy Editor and you should be able to burn a DVD over Remote Desktop now
