Can't copy files to CD

[Lori]

Just recently I am unable to copy certain files to CD. The operating system
claims the files are in use. They are not in use. It is an appllication
package that is not installed on the computer that I am trying to do the
copying on. It is only three files one is a boot file another is dll and
another. I removed the read only attribute with no luck. I also went into
explorer and removed all the details, but file name in the view window. No
luck there either. I don't know of any changes that I have made that would
have caused this. Can someone help.

It probably runs itself in the registry. Go to Start/Run, and type MSCONFIG then look at the STARTUP TAB, to uncheck unwanted,
checked items

I don't see anything in the "startup" section that would cause the files to
be occupied. I tried copying the files to another drive on my network and I
received the same error message. I tried using a third party CD buring app
and, again, I got the same message. I removed the "read only" file attribute
without any success.

It probably runs itself in the registry. Go to Start/Run, and type

MSCONFIG then look at the STARTUP TAB, to uncheck unwanted,

Mark,
I went to the link and followed the instructions. There was not a selection
for "simple file sharing".

On Home Edition, you see a security tab when you boot to Safe Mode (f8 on restart) and log on as default Administrator.
