Use password encryption with 128 bit cypher strength on all of the files. That will give them a hard way to go!

Sorry, your only option is encryption at this point. However, if you go through the copyright process with the government you can claim damages for any who tamper with your data. It is difficult but doable. In the meanwhile, even with a copyright you will need to encrypt in order to keep others from tampering. Now, you can use a read only disk. Then they can read what is on it but they can not write from it to another CD. Just go in and click on Properties, then check the "read only" box. That way they can read but not write.

You know that there are usually files that are installed elsewhere.  There are also changes to the registry.  Even if you copy the programs over, I doubt they will run.  You best bet is to get the CD's they were installed from, if they were.

If you are using windows XP, you can drag and drop (or copy from and to).. using windows explorer.\n\nIf not, try deepburner. It's freeware to burn CD.

It's illegal because of copyright laws.  Theoretically even burning CD's and DVD's for backup personal use is illegal.

Many games insist on having the cd in the drive even though you are running the program from the hard drive. This keeps all you friends from taking the CD home and loading it on their system.

Nope, just have to buy a CR-RW.  That way you can create a cd, and if you mess up or don't like it, you can delete the contents and make a new  one, or just add to it.

There should not be. In fact, you can mix n match of Floppy, CD RW, CD Player, externals drives all in one Windows Box. That may be true on Linux also.\n\nBut, it may not be true on weird servers from biggies :-)

replace the CD drive? or just make a copy of the CD on your friend's PC.

The surest way is to not be on the Internet, not let anyone else use your computer and never insert discs from anyone who is not a totally trusted source.\n\nAs a practical matter, having a broadband router, the Windows firewall that comes with XP Service Pack 2, Windows Automatic Updates turned on, a good antivirus program, a couple decent anti-spyware programs (such as Spybot and Ad-Aware), and taking the attitude you will never, ever download any program ever from the Internet, should keep you plenty safe.

Windows uses special software to prevent you from doing that.\nThey call it Digital Rights Managment...more like restrictions.\n\ntry\nhttp://www.doom9.org/

Call microsoft, I know they are very concerned about piracy so you may have a difficult time with this, my first response would be to call microsoft and ask what they suggest.

there is not such thing as 'secure' in IT industry,  theres no reason to burn a cd from a webpage, use nero for example

I don't believe there's any way to make a windows cd, except for copying an existing windows cd, or, well... working for microsoft. However, what determines wether your copy is legit or not is not the CD, but the product key. Use any cd you would like, but use your own product key, and you'll be fine. If you don't know your key, this little program will easily find it for you and tell you: http://pcsupport.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=pcsupport&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.magicaljellybean.com%2Fkeyfinder.shtml

The only thing that I know of is to buy a CD scratch remover. I bought one for about $25. It was well worth the money.

This registry setting will only allow the CD-ROM to be accessed by the locally logged in user:\n\nHKLM/software/microsoft/windows nt/currentversion/winlogon\nallocatecdroms = 1\n\nThis will disable the ability to share the CD rom drive.\n\nYou can do the same with floppies with "allocatefloppies=1"
