Enable remote SPTI access

[Ken852]

I just recently noticed the option "Enable SPTI access in Remote Sessions" as I was installing ImgBurn in a VM. I also noticed that it's not enabled by default during installation.

This may explain a problem I was running into previously as I was trying to access my PC using Remote Desktop from another PC. I was trying to do this because my main PC does not have any optical drive. But ImgBurn logged some error or warning, I don't remember now.

Do I have to reinstall ImgBurn to enable this? Will I lose my current settings?

That setup option just manipulates a few reg keys.

Reinstalling over the top and enabling the option is fine. You won't lose your settings.

You could follow this instead if you prefer...

This seems to be related to admin rights?

Reinstalling ImgBurn worked like a charm, and I did not lose any of my settings as far as I can tell.

Thank you!
