I have question regarding a "security setting".

Part of "securing" an NT/2000 box it's recommended to restrict access to the 
floppy drive and cd-rom to the interactive user only.  This is great however 
I have seen problems with this and was wondering if anyone else has.

Once I completed the regedit and rebooted I was unable to load certain 
software from the cd-rom.  Specifically MS products.  I tried to install 
Powerpoint and Visio on a machine and was unable to because it said the 
software was not in the location.  I'm assuming that it's because the 
software is being loaded as another user (probably localsystem) and the 
cd-rom has been restricted to the logged in user...this case Administrator.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there a work around  besides 
'unsecuring' your box, loading software, then re-securing the box?

Thanks for the input.
Dave
