This tutorial will work in XP Pro or Vista.

open the group policy editor
Start\Run type gpedit.msc

now move through the left pane to:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer\

now to the right find the key: Remove CD Burning Features
double click and select enable

This will stop users from being able to burn cds, and thus discouraging downloading on a network.
