Installation Source Registry Key
When I've installed Win9x on computers I'd copy the .cab files to the hard
drive and setup from there. That way when I installed other programs or
made Windows changes I didn't usually have to get my Win9x cd. the install
would use the files on the hard drive. Is there a way to do this in WinXP
Pro? In this case WinXP is already installed so I'd need to go into the
registry and change the Source Path, if that works in XP like it did in 9x.
Thanks in advance

Sometimes we use removable media such as CD-ROMs, floppy disks, and DVDs to install new programs to Windows. This is a common phenomenon and I think everyone using Windows is familiar to it. But what if anyone else installed some programs to your Windows without your permission, and which compromised your Windows? In such case your Windows installation may get ruined.
Using the concept of old saying that “prevention is better than cure“, if we configure Windows in such a way that it should not permit unknown media installation from removable source, then it will help us to safeguard our Windows from unknown installations, thus achieving high safety. In this article, I’ll show you the way to prevents users from installing programs from removable media. If a user tries to install a program from removable media, a message appears, stating that the feature cannot be found.

4. In the above window, select Enabled in order to prevent users to install from removable media source. That’s it! Reboot to get results.
Disable media source for any install using Registry Editor

3. In the right pane of this location, create a DWORD named DisableMedia using Right Click -> New -> DWORD. Double click on the DWORD so created to modify it, you’ll see this:
4. In the Value data section of above box, input the value equal to 1. Click OK. Close the Registry Editor and reboot to see the results. That’s it!
Hope this helps!
