writing to CD-RW

[Amber]

Hello Dan ... thanks for responding
I tried what you suggested and the folders are still
there and I keep getting pop up windows in the sys tray
that I have folders ready to write to CD.
Maybe I can get some "liquid paper" and paint them off of
the screen :)
Anybody have any suggestions ??
Thanks
Amber

Files hat you copy from a CD will always have the status Read-Only.
This is no issue with your CD writer or the CD writing tool in Windows
XP.

The files are marked read only so you can't accidentally copy over them, but
you can copy them back to your hard drive or a floppy disk.

take.

what you want is a packet writing software that treats the cd-rw as a big
floppy drive where you can write - delete-move-copy etc etc

this is a Free one i use for win xp and it works very well, it's made by
ahead same people that make nero cd writing software, you can download
[INCD.exe]

go here and look for a file staring with INCD the current version is
InCD4100.exe
