    What happens when you try?
    Does rebooting help?

    You receive either of these error messages:

    Error Deleting File or Folder.

    Cannot delete file name. Files on this CD-ROM drive are read-only. You cannot copy or move files over to this CD-ROM drive.

    CAUSE:
    This error message can occur because individual files cannot be deleted from the CD-RW. You cannot use the CD disc recording feature of Windows XP for random-access storage while you are writing to disc.

    To work around this problem, either use a third-party program that supports this feature or erase the CD-RW before you write to the disc.

    Thanks for your reply. The message I get after copying graphic files to a CD is that the files can't be deleted from the temporary storage area because one of them is being used by another person or program. And when I restart, I get a message that I have files waiting to be written to CD. (And I still can't get rid of them.)

    I'm sorry -- I can't figure out how to post a new question or new thread, so I'm doing it here. (You were so helpful with my previous question.)

    When I try to shut down I get the message: "Shellcon Hidden Window. This program is not responding." I read somewhere that the ShellCon issue is caused by MusicMatch Jukebox, but I don't find any of those files when I go to Start-Run-msconfig.

    :confused:

    The message comes from a program called mim.exe, that is included with MusicMatch and some other programs.

    Download Microsoft/Sysinternals AutoRuns, and use it remove the startup entry that contains "mim.exe ": http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html
