Using Windows XP's CD burner... does it have to use >\Local Settings\ApplicationData\Microsoft\CD Bu

[Ant]

Hello!

Does Windows XP's CD burner have to copy "to be burned" files to
C:\Documents and Settings\<account name>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\ location? Can't it just burn directly the
files where they are on HDD? I currently only have about 1 GB free on my
C: drive. Is there an registry option to change this behavior? If not,
how about using another location like g:\temp\CD Burning\ (did not see
anything in TweakUI).

Thank you in advance.

You might want to go back and double check TweakUI. Expand My
Computer. Click on Special Folders. CD burning is the first one
listed.

Ooops, thanks! Now, if I could find a way to have XP not to copy files
for burning!

No. If you want to burn files from where they are, you'll need a REAL
CD burning app, like Nero.

And you should consider getting a bigger harddrive too.

Use a third party program. The imapi burning function is very limited in
configurability.

You cannot. It is called 'caching'
Files stored in temppray files are cahched to emmory for faster loading.
Writing is a very demandign pricedure.

Nero 7 was released this week. Check it out
