Subject program is interfering with Roxio. I cannot find MS drag to disk to
delete or disable it. If anyone can help, I would be grateful.

Drag To Disk is a Roxio program. I've never heard of an MS program that does
this. I have Roxio on XP and have for years with no problem. Now what might
be interfering is Nero InCD or Sonic [HP] DLA [drive letter access]. These
programs are incompatible. Only one can be installed. Do you have either of
those on your computer?
You can disable MS CD writing in services. It's called Imapi CD-burning
services. You might try disabling that.

Drag to Disk is part of Roxio. It the application that reads from and
writes to the drive. Assuming, of course, that the drive itself is willing
to read or write.

Perhaps you should tell us what your problem is.

Thank you for your responses. Here is what I am experiencing. Each time I
download a driver or any download, the file is sent to C:/windows/temp file
where I can't find it easily. I want to download (save) to CD-RW. Then the
dialog box says "You have files waiting to be written to CD" or words
similar. I think that part comes from the built-in XP CD writer which I do
not want. I want to use Roxio as I have always done. This is a new
computer so that program is apparently active again. I took out my Creative
CD-DVD writer from the old computer, swapped it out in the new computer.
That solves my problem of not being able to change a file on the disk, it
always said, no permission, this is a read only CD. That part is fixed.
The second CD burner that came with the computer (Dell) still does not work.
My remaining problem is that of all downloads going as described above. I
want to disable the XP CD writing program. Hope I have made my problem a
bit more clear.

Sorry I failed to say that I do not have either Nero or Sonic.

Ok - go to start-control panel -administrative services then click the
services icon. Scroll down through there to the Imapi CD-burn Com. Click the
entry and change the startup type to disabled. I'm not sure how you are
getting your conflict. XP should not be putting files into the "ready to
burn" section unless you are putting them there. What version of Roxio do you
have? You may need to update it. It's pretty simple to burn to CD's and DVD's
with the Roxio programs and the MS thing should not interfere.

Right click your CD Writer icon and select Properties->Recording Tab.
Uncheck the box that says "enable writing on this device"
 
OK guys, I got it and thanks for your help. I followed otisdog's advice and
disabled Imapi. I also put a blank Cd-RW in both drives (separately) and
when windows asks you what you want to do with the file, I clicked Burn CD
with Roxio and checked, Always take this action. Now both drives burn,
delete etc. normally
