staging folder and buring/formatting onto cdrw

[Guest]

I jsut baught a new computer with windows xp. i have had xp before. i want
to be able to use a cd like a general disk (constantly saving and deleting
files.) I am not sure how to go about doing this. Everytime i same a file,
it goes to teh staging folder (it keeps saying files waiting to be burned to
cd) I never got this on my last xp. It is really annoying i just want to be
able to burn directly to the cd. How do i get rid of this? Tghe computer
came with record now, but i tried to make a data cd and it made it a one time
burn. any help is appreciated. I just want to get rid of the "staging folder"
and and be able to use the cd burner like a regular disk. again, any help is
appreciated.
Thanks
Lora

You need to buy a program to make disks that can't be read by all computers.
