Cannot access cd/dvd rom drives

I don't have to log on to my computer - It is quite new, with genuine windows
etc,

but, suddenly I get this message saying
"administrator has prohibited access to your cd/dvd rom drives"
I don't know what has caused this, I have never logged on as an
administrator, it's my computer. I just turn it on and away I go.
I don't know if someone may have hacked into it, I did a virus scan using my
McCafee security and nothing turned up.
I just can't work out what has caused this.

thanks if anyone can help me out here.
