This tweak allows users to install programs from removable media, such as floppy disks and CD-ROMs, during privileged installations. This setting permits all users to install programs from removable media, even when the installation program is running with elevated system privileges. By default, users can install programs from removable media only when the installation runs in the user's security context. During privileged installations, such as those offered on the desktop or displayed in Add or Remove Programs, only system administrators can install from removable media.
Steps for applying this Tweak
- Open your Registry
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
- Create or modify dword called "AllowLockdownMedia"
- Set value as 0 to disable or as 1 to enable this tweak
- Restart windows or logoff for setting to take effect
