 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Chris Re: CD drive write-disabled  Dear Webby, in regards to writing to a CD, you should make sure that the drive has "recording" enabled. I had to go around to most of our department's computers and check that they were enabled after our IT staff installed new computers, none of them were and no one could write to their CDs. Why Microsoft found it better to ship them disabled is beyond me... Anyway, right click on the drive, click on Properties then on Recording, click the Enable box and you're golden. Chris  Dear Chris That's not Microsoft, but the way most companies prefer their OFFICE computers set up. If they had ordered computers for HOME, the default would have been set to write enabled. It's not a Windows default, but a setting in the pre-install by your computer vendor. They know that most businesses like it that way. Ya see, some companies have this weird notion that while using a company computer on company time, it should only be used for work, and not for downloading movies and music and burning them onto company CD's for friends and relatives, who are too lazy to work for the company. Some companies even frown on the common practise of burning the customer list onto a stack of CD's a week before quitting! I know, it's terribly antisocial and undemocratic, but until Hillary gets into the White House, you'll just have to cope with it. If I was in your shoes, I would not brag about having defeated company policy. Somebody might get their knickers in a knot about it, and toggle the write-out-block on. When that is set by the admin, then you can't write to ANY removable media, not even USB drives! Have FUN! DearWebby 
 Jackie and her husband were foster parents years ago. At one point they had a 4-year-old girl they were quite attached to. Jackie thought she had done a good job in teaching her manners, good behavior, etc. So when the 4-year-old said to her one day, "When I grow up, I want to be just like you!" Jackie's heart swelled with pride... until the 4-year-old finished her sentence... "so that I can reach the @#$% light switch by myself!"

 Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50." The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100." The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon. And it takes eight people to collect all the money!" ____________________________________________ One day, Little Johnny visited a doctor for a vaccination. After the doctor gave him an injection, he tried to bandage Little Johnny's arm. "I think you'd better bandage the other arm", said Little Johnny. "But, why? I'm supposed to bandage the injected part of your arm to let your friends know not to touch it." "Doc, you really don't have a clue about how my friends behave!" ____________________________________________ When Amanda's son was 6, they were going to Amanda's mother's house where he was going to spend the night. He had been playing on Amanda's nerves the entire day and finally, right before they pulled into Amanda's mother's driveway, she put the standard "mother's curse" on him, saying, "When you grow up, I hope you have a child just like you." He looked at Amanda with big crocodile tears in his eyes and said, "Gee, Mommy, I thought you wanted me to be happy!" ____________________________________________
