burning files to CD

I know I can use Media Player to burn media CD's. But what does Windows use
to burn data CD's, non-Media Player CD's? Is there a way to keep the CD
session open?

Do you know what software Windows uses? I've seen Roxio referred to.
Roxio is a third party application. Once upon a time, Roxio was the owner
of Easy CD Creator.

It's really best to just get NERO. Comes "free" generally, with a new
CD-drive.

Use ImgBurn.
I have Nero and Roxio, but ImgBurn succeeds when sometimes the other two don't.

ImgBurn 2.4.2.0

ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have
in their toolkit!
It has several 'Modes', each one for performing a different task:
Read - Read a disc to an image file
Build - Create an image file from files on your computer or network - or you can write the files
directly to a disc
Write - Write an image file to a disc
Verify - Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you can also have ImgBurn compare it against a
given image file to ensure the actual data is correct
Discovery - Put your drive / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check
the quality of the burns your drive is producing
ImgBurn supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO,
MDS, NRG and PDI.
It can burn Audio CD's from any file type supported via DirectShow / ACM - including AAC, APE, FLAC,
M4A, MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, PCM, WAV, WMA and WV.
You can use it to build DVD Video discs (from a VIDEO_TS folder), HD DVD Video discs (from a
HVDVD_TS folder) and Blu-ray Video discs (from a BDAV / BDMV folder) with ease.
It supports Unicode folder/file names, so you shouldn't run in to any problems if you're using an
international character set.
ImgBurn supports all the Windows OS's - Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista and 2008
(including all the 64-bit versions). If you use Wine, it should also run on Linux and other
x86-based Unixes.
It's a very flexible application with several advanced features that are often lacking in other
tools, especially when it comes to burning DVD Video discs. It supports all the latest drives
without the need for updates (including booktype / bitsetting / advanced settings on many of the
major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, LG, NEC, Plextor, Samsung, Sony).
There is an image queue system for when you're burning several images (which you can automatically
share between multiple drives if you have more than one) and an easy-to-use layer break selection
screen for double layer DVD Video jobs. The Automatic Write Speed feature allows you store your
favourite burn speed settings on a per 'Media ID' basis, right down to a drive by drive level. Data
captured during the burn (write speed, buffer levels etc) can be displayed / analysed using
DVDInfoPro.
Whilst ImgBurn is designed to work perfectly straight out of the box, advanced users will appreciate
just how configurable it is.
Oh and let's not forget the best thing about it.... it's 100% FREE!

If my memory serves me correctly, having Nero and Roxio installed on the
same machine is a no-no.

I bet that is only true IF you choose to install the packet writing stuff
(which I never do), (assuming you are given the options in the program
install).

(The only downside of that is that one can't use the R/W disc mediums, but I
won't touch those with a ten foot pole, as they can be so problematic).
