Boy am I dense. I use Roxio's Easy CD Creator Platinum. I'd rather just make a cd. I don't have any experience using Windows XP's CD creator utility. In fact, guess what, that XP utility is just a limited version of Roxio's program. So I'm still confused. You say I should create a folder on the CD. How the heck can I do that? I just make CD's using Roxio's program. How do I make a CD "live," or any other drive "live" for that matter?! Hey Howard, I can be a dummy sometimes... It's me not you.
