Hi Jeff,

Right click the Desktop/Properties/Desktop/Customize.

For the CD software issue:

This edit will remove the drivers listed in the article below that causes
the message:

Save the file below to your hard drive. Navigate to where you saved it and
double click the file. A confirmation dialog will appear when the script is
done. You may need to reboot for the change to take effect.

CD Recording software will cause Windows to become unstable. Windows has
prevented these drivers from loading.
