How can I tell XP to burn a CD in a batch file?

[DBatesX]

I have XP Pro, and I want to be able to automate doing a
CD backup each night of my data files, so essentially I
need a way to script the file copies to CD and execute the
burn in the middle of the night (assuming I have put a
blank CD in my drive when I leave my office).
I can copy the files to "C:\Documents and
Settings\me\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD
Burning\" and they're ready to burn, but I haven't figured
out how to "Write these files to CD". Any suggestions?
