Under the File & Folder Tasks in my pictures, I used to have a task that said burn to cd. It worked great. Now it is gone and I can't burn my pictures to a cd. I'm sure it is something simple but how do I add that option back again?
I'm running Windows XP.
 
Hi,

Did you install a third-party burning program? If so, it likely disabled the
native program (and well it should) and you should use it instead.

Otherwise, check these two things:

1) Right-click the drive in Windows Explorer, select properties. On the
recording tab, make sure the option to "enable recording on this drive" is
checked.

2) Start/run msconfig, go to the services tab. Locate the line that loads
the imapi burning service and make sure it is enabled. If it already is,
uncheck it, reboot, then recheck it and reboot.

We did install a FireConnect 4300 and then installed a demo of Nero which I have uninstalled. It seems like this all started after we did that. When I right click the drive my tabs are General, Autoplay and Hardward. I didn't see a recording.
When I try to select my folder to copy and then copy to e:/, it tells me "e:/ is not acceptable. incorrect function".
Thanks for your help.

If that doesn't work there may be a registry problem. Editing the registry
can be dangerous so be sure to back up. Click on Start and then Run. Type
in "regedit". Once you are in the registry editor, on the left, expand the
folder "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE". Open SOFTWARE then Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies. Click to select "Explorer". Look on the
right side of the screen for a value named NoCDBurning. In the Data column,
look at the value for NoCDBurning. If it is 0x00000000 (0) skip down to the
***. If it is 0x00000001 (1), select the File menu at the top. Click on
Export... Pick a place you will remember to save the file (like My
Documents) Then look on the bottom of the Export/Save dialog and be sure that
"Selected Branch" is selected (not "All"). Then type a name for the file:
"NoCDBurn Backup" or something else you will remember. If you need to
restore later, just open up that folder and doubleclick on the file to
restore the registry. Now, after you save the backup, doubleclick on the
NoCDBurning value. Change the 1 in the dialog box to a 0 and press Ok.
Close Registry Editor and restart your computer. Then open up My Computer on
the desktop or from the Start Menu. Right click on your CD-R drive and click
Properties. If there is a Recording tab click on it. (If there isn't go to
the ***). Click "enable CD recording on this drive." You should be all set.

*** If you have no Recording tab even though the value above was set to zero
(or you took steps to set it to zero, your drive may be recognized as a
non-recording drive accidentally. Open this address to Microsoft
