Looks like somebody managed to que my entire data drive to be written to CD.
I double click on the CD burner icon with no CD in it, and all those "Data
Drive" files/folders are there.
I would have thought that they were just shortcuts or pointers - and if I
deleted them, the "You have files waiting to be written to CD" would go away and
all would be well.
Turns out that the prompt goes away all right.... but the actual folders/files
on the data drive get deleted too.
Can anybody offer up an explaination of what's going on?
To reiterate/summarize: The core problem seems to be that if I try to delete one
of those folders/files that are qued on the CD burner, the actual source
file/folder on my data drive gets deleted instead of just the pointer/shortcut
behind the CD burner.
