Re: Disable eMac CD-ROM

Or set the MCX media access control preferences in Workgroup Manager to deny use of an disk media.

We have just taken delivery of 192 new eMac computers. I was wondering if there was a way to disable the CD eject key on these machines? At the moment, most students do not need to use the CD-ROM drives, but they tend to play with the drives regardless.



Doing what you say would cause the computer to eat their CD.  That would be a bad thing.

Using Finder Preferences you can set the computer to run an AppleScript when a blank or

music CD is inserted.  So write an AppleScript which ejects all drives and set it to

run that.
