| 228686 | 2004-04-11 15:26:00 | WinXP. I get the balloon re files waiting to burn to cd, but have no files waiting. I went to disable burning to this drive and a message informed me that they files would be still available when I enabled the drive again. Deleting the non-existing files results in a message about System Volume Information denied access. These phantom files or reference to them, must be stored somewhere on my computer where I can delete them. Anyone know where? I also tried burning a file to a cd to see if it would clear the message, but it did not. Thanks for your help |

| 228687 | 2004-04-11 22:22:00 | You'll need to turn on viewing all files in Windows Explorer to browse to here (Tools > Folder Options > View, tick "Show hidden files and folders"). Browse to here: C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning I think that's where WXP stores info on files to burn to CD. Having the "Show hidden files and folders" might also help here as it might be a hidden file that it thinks you want to burn. HTH Mike. |

| 228688 | 2004-04-12 01:01:00 | Thanks Mike, Both default user and myself have cd burning folders but both are empty. I ticked show hidden files and refreshed but to no avail. Registry perhaps?? |

| 228689 | 2004-04-12 02:15:00 | Was able to view the files waiting to be burnt and they are the Recycler and the System Volume Information folders on one of my partitions. Can't delete them as access is denied and they are system files. I deleted and recreated the partition to no avail. Win XP is storing the 'files are to be written' somewhere. Really do not want to reinstall :( | Kowhai (4590) | ||
