(Naturally, there??™s no way
to change the default.)
5. Drag some files or folders onto your CD/DVD drive.
6. When you??™re done dragging files, click the Burn to disc button (or rightclick
the CD/DVD drive and select Burn to disc), and then follow the
prompts.
At this point, Windows Explorer will crash. Or, maybe you??™ll get lucky, and
nothing at all will happen (no CD, no messages, nothing).
If this is happening to you, do yourself a favor and skip the part where you
try to diagnose the problem. Instead, just use any other CD/DVD burning
software to make your discs, and you??™ll never look back:
??? You can burn ordinary data CDs and data DVDs with Express Burn,
available for free from http://www.nch.com.au/. If you want more pizzazz,
try a commercial solution, such as Roxio Easy Media Creator (http://
www.roxio.com/), Ashampoo Burning Studio (http://www.ashampoo.
com/), or Nero (http://www.nero.com/).
??? You can make audio CDs right in Windows Media Player, as well as
Apple iTunes, by creating a custom playlist, and then burning the playlist
to a disc.
??? You can make DVD movies from your TV recordings from within Windows
Media Center.
??? To burn discs from ISO image files, as well as create ISO files from
discs, use ISO Recorder (free; http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com).
With the proper disc burning software, now all that can go wrong is everything
else.
