Last night I tried backing up a bunch of files to a CD using Windows
XP Pro, Windows Explorer. I couldn't get it to work so I copied the
files to a CD using Nero. Now everytime I open Windows, I get a
message telling me I have files waiting to be written to CD. I can't
reid of it. How do I delete the files that are "waiting to be written?
Where are the help in Windows XP Pro waiting to be copied? Thanks.

Okay, thanks. but when I go to Windows Explorer and look for this, I
can't get past "Local Settings" because there's no such folder on my
system. I've done a search for the folder and still can't find it. Any
other suggestions as to where it could be? Thanks again.

Local Settings may be hidden. There should be about five of them.
