Run command for operating the CD Burning Wizard?

[John Doe]

After copying files to here...
C:\...\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning
....is there a way to write files in that folder to a recordable CD
through the (Start -- Run) dialog without having to go through the
GUI to use the CD Burning Wizard? Or maybe write them to a CD
through a command prompt somehow?

If not, is there a simple third party alternative?

Thanks.

Nero has a fully documented set of commands to do this. Here is an example:

The command to execute:
"c:\program files\ahead\nero\nerocmd.exe" @c:\tools\nero.scr

The script file that gets invoked. Note the "--" command initiators:
;---------------------------
; Script file for nerocmd.exe
;---------------------------
--write
--real
--drivename G
--speed 32
--disable_eject
;--speedtest

;Specify a label of up to 16 chars. Embedded spaces are OK.
--iso "$Date$"
--enable_abort
--underrun_prot
--create_iso_fs
--recursive

; The "close session" statement allows for multi-session recording.
; Without it, the disk is closed after the first recording. With
; it, data can be added. Only the latest session is visible.
--Close_Session

; List of folders to be burnt.
; Note: If a single file in one of them is locked then
; the whole burn process will fail.
