Writing to a CD within a File Manager

[Allan Higdon]

I have Windows XP Home.
I began trying out a couple of dual-pane file managers (2xExplorer and
PowerDesk) to see if I like them better than Windows Explorer.
The best I can do with respect to writing to a CD is to copy file(s) to the
"CD Burning" folder (staging area).
I still have to use Windows Explorer to start up the CD Writing Wizard.
These programs do offer a Command Prompt feature.
This made me wonder if there might be some method of invoking the CD Writing
Wizard from the command line, without going through Windows Explorer.
Does anyone know of a command like this?

Why even use the built in burning program that XP offers? Use a real
burning program like Nero or EasyCD Creater. You can purchase either
program from most web discounters for $20 US or less. Just be sure
your CD writer is supported by the program before you buy.

Powerdesk is a great alternative to Explorer. One more thing: NEVER
