Thanks Ken..

I see the thing by Eric.

Is the code below that yours?
If so what are the licensing issues and with what OS's will it work?

I assume that this is your own version and that Eric's stuff is just and
alternative. Right?

Thanks for the reply,

Shane

For CDs you can use Windows XP's IMAPI:

Notice that it's hard to use IMAPI with VB.NET directly. Typically it
is used with C++:

One last question.

If I understand correctly. This copies to the folder where files are
waiting to be written.
I suppose it doesn't get rid of other files waiting to be written? So I
might get more files that what I think when using it?

Is that right? If so what can I do to just burn those I want?

Thanks,

Shane
