Need to delete files waiting to be burned.

[Amandar097]

Hello,

I was in the middle of burning files to a DVD when my computer locked up.
Now whenever I reboot my computer, I get a balloon that reads, "You have
files waiting to be burned to a disc."

When I click on the balloon, Windows Explorer opens up. It shows that I
have a file in the DVD RW Drive (E. I cannot burn or delete this file.

How do I remove this?

Thanks,
Amanda

right click the CD / DVD RW drive in Windows Exploder or in a My Computer
window
select properties from the popup context menu
select the recording tab
clear the check box "Enable CD recording on this drive"

Delete the links and re-enable recording.

Hi Mark,

I don't have that check box. The only check box I have in the recording tab
is "Automatically eject the disc after a Mastered burn."

Thanks,
Amanda

That did it!

Hello Amanda,

While the tutorial is for Windows 7, it also applies to Vista for
stopping this message balloon.
