Hi All,

How does explorer burn the selected files to the CD in Windows XP, I mean
how is the CD burning implemented in XP, does it use some component or does
the windows explorer it self does the burning job and does it treat any
difference in the read only and read write CDs. And what will be the process
that is doing the burning.

My general oberservation on some CD burning softwares is that they create a
image and then write the image to the CD through disk driver with out going
through file system.

Any information is helpful.

Thanks,
Kedar.

It is Explorer itself, who does the burning.

First the data to be burnt are collected to
directory in the user’s profile (I don’t remember exactly
which subfolder is it). When the user wants, Explorer then
burns the data.
