Hi Joan Ann! No that doesn't work because as I said, a blank CD is not readable. You'd have to open your burning software first and paste the files into there. If your Windows Explorer does have a menu option to burn stuf to a CD, you should be able to just select files in any folder and execute that option. The burning software should then open automatically. Cheers, Robbie From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joan Ann Brosnan Sent: Freitag, 9.

The other thing is, if I put a CD into the drive, if I go to send to, the CD option isn't there so, it doesn't seem to be recognizing the blank CD at all.

Why do you want to access a blank CD with the Explorer in the first place? I assume that the explorer can't identify the object in the drive precisely because it's blank and therefore unreadable.

I can play CD's and review tracks in windows explorer with no problems but, if I put a blank CD into the drive and go too windows explorer and choose the D drive, it tells me that "D:\ is not accessible unknown function". Could it be a problem with the CD's I am using? The strange thing is I have tried this using CD's from 2 different boxes.
