Turning Off Vista’s Built-In CD Burning

Since most computers come with 3rd party programs that are easier to use than Vista’s CD/DVD burning,  you can turn this off with a simple registry edit.

  1. Start Regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
  3. Create a new DWORD key NoCDBurning
  4. Give it a value of 1
  5. Log off and back on again

If you don’t feel comfortable editing the registry values you can download it from here: Download Reg File
