Burn data files onto a CD with Windows XP

Friday, May 19, 2006

I have a set of files that I need to deliver to someone, but they’re too big for a floppy disk. How can I burn them to a CD?

  1. Right click on the files that you want to burn.
  2. When the context menu pops up, move the mouse over the word Send To and another menu will slide out.
  3. In the new menu that slides out, click on the drive letter of your CD writer.
  4. Do this for each file that you want to burn onto the disk. To select multiple files at once, read this article.
  5. Go to the Desktop and double-click on My Computer.
  6. Double-click on your CD writer’s icon.
  7. You will see icons for each of the files that will be written to CD. In the left-hand column of options, you’ll see Write these files to CD at the top. Click on that option, then sit back and wait while Windows XP burns your disk.
