Any fix for this?

Explorer Properties shows the CD as the wrong size.

There appears to be a bug in Windows Explorer, such that when you put in a
disk that contains multiple ISO Sessions, Properties shows the size of the
files in the last session only, which may be very misleading. This applies to
multi-session disks burned with third party software, as well as the native
Win XP system.

Could you tell me how to do a command prompt? I don't know anything about
that.

cd-rw. Is there a patch from ms that I can download or a work around for
this?
