CDLock lets you set up rules for the local computer, defining when any
removable disks which support auto-eject feature can be used and by whom.
You can control access to any removable disks, such as CD-ROMs, optical
disks, or anything else depending on the time of day and day of week.
CDLock even allows controlling access to the Audio CDs so you can build
secure but user-friendly environment on every workstation in the network.
CDLock enhances access control for Windows users and helps you to control

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

IMPORTANT! If you've got CDLock not from our web page, but from the other
source (magazine CD or some software library), please visit our home
page - you'll probably find the later version.

To correctly install (and uninstall) CDLock on Windows NT/2000 you MUST have
administrative privileges.

To install CDLock, just run the "cdlock.exe" and follow the instructions.
You'll need to select the target directory to install.

If you wish to install CDLock without an user intervention you should launch
CDLock setup with the /s parameter. The idea here is to provide an install
that can be used with a batch file.

IMPORTANT! The CDLock Service on Windows NT/2000 MUST works under system
account and the flag "Interact with Desktop" MUST be checked!
