Using Exploere to write to CD

[Guest]

On my PC I write to a CD using explorer. Simply copy the data required paste
it to the CD then use File - write these files to CD. However this is not
the case on all of the other PC’s I am using. Some have software such as
Roxio . In these cases the explorer option doesn’t work.

Is there any way I can set up XP to overide the Roxio and use Explorer.

You will first have to disable or uninstall Roxio. I have no idea how you
disable Roxio, it probably runs all of the time.

CD Drive enable XP's recording wizard

Open My Computer, right click the CD Drive icon and then click Properties.
Click the Recording tab.
Check: Enable CD recording on this drive
Click: Apply
Click: OK

Enable CD recording on this drive
This setting turns on the built-in CD recording features included with
Windows XP.
Third-party programs sometimes disable this setting.
You can only enable CD recording for one device at a time.
