To remove the burn button try this:

1. open regedit
2. Delete “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning”
3. Create a key “CD Burning” (in “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\”)
4. Right click CD Burning, select permissions
4.1 Advanced button -> Add button -> Enter object name = Everyone -> Oke button -> Check Deny column for: Set Value, Create Subkeys, Delete & Write Owner. Apply.
5. Restart.

I hope that work for u guys. It work for me.

I ran the reg fix on Vista Ultimate SP1 and rebooted. It removes CD burning functionality but the “Burn” button is still there in Windows Explorer…

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting it to work? I have only had my PC out of the box for 3 weeks and the idea that this function does not work already annoys me.

I was able to get the reg fix to remove the button once, but then I did the enable hack to see if I could get the burn function to work again. After reboot the button was back but does not work. So I tried to remove it again and it will not go away.
