Now that I may have known this from the previous answer, what happens when users burn the CD-Rs attributes to a CD-RW.
Would the CD-RW enable hard write-protect?

    Hi John,

    I would like to confirm your issue for a clear understanding. Do you mean your users have CD-RW blank discs, and want to burn CD-RW with "with a CD/DVD player" option? right?

    As we know, when we try to burn CD-RW discs, we have 2 options available to choose. One for "Like a USB flush drive" which could allow us to modify discs on other system such as other Windows version, MAC OS or Linux after we finished burn. For the other option "with a CD/DVD player", these files cannot be edited or removed from the disc once burn finished, but the disc can be used on most computers. May be we could understand it as a type of write protect for RW.

    Another key point we should notice is that when we have used this RW disc before without problems that should continue to be the case but just for info, RW discs are more susceptible to errors. So "with a CD/DVD player" option would be better for anything important.

    Bests,
