Open regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
On the right-hand pane create a new 32-bit DWORD value with these properties:
- Name: NoCDBurning
- Value: 1
You’ll have to logout and back in to see the changes. To remove, just delete the key or change the value to 0.

Interesting tip! I had no option but to use Vista’s built in CD/DVD burning feature yesterday and I must say I was impressed. It was noticably better than XP’s implementation.
