Under XP, my security settings have been messed up and I cannot access my CD roms or floppy disk. Even logging on as an administrator doesn't get me in. Can someone suggest where I have to go to reset this security level back? Thanks!

You must put more detail - why do you think it's a "security settings" issue? What happens when you try to access a CD or a floppy?

When I try to access a CD I get an meesage that I do not have access to that device. The exact wording is as follows: is not accessible. Incorrect Function
