Backing up App files using Win CD Writing Wizard, where are they?

T

Teflon

Backing up Quicken 2006 to a CD on XP Pro machine. Quicken backup
procedure provides a 'Use Windows CD Writing Wizard' check box, which I
checked like I've done many times before.

Backup ran fine, got a message that the backup files were being held in
a temporary folder and still had to be written to the CD. Seen that
message before.

However, in the past, I seem to remember seeing a CD Writing Wizard
reminder icon in the systems tray, reminding me that there were files
still to be written to the CD. I don't see that icon anymore, nor can
I find the temporary folder where those backup files were stored, nor
can I find the CD Writing Wizard in Accessories, where again, I thought
I always saw it before. Where do i go to complete this process?

Is there something I could have turned off that is hiding all that
stuff? I searched this NG and I Googled, but did not find the answer.
Probably because it is so simple, but it eludes me.

Thanks for any advise, pointers or pointing.

Thanks John, that worked.

Now, do you have any idea what I could have done to eliminate the
alert/shortcut icon in the systems tray?

Teflon,

Sorry, I have no idea how to solve that.

My problem is similar in that the alert shows but disappears too fast,
so I have just got accustom to going to the drive in My Computer and
choosing
Write these files to CD.

Also running XP Pro SP2.
