Win XP Burn software

Can I, or indeed should I, turn off the XP built in burning software if
using a third party product to burn CD's.

Thanks

Bill,
I really can't say if you should or if you shouldn't,but many
people do indeed turn off XPs inbuilt 'burning' software.
If you get better results with it turned off, then keep it turned off.

Cheers mate

I guess it's suck it and see.......

I don't know if it's a good idea to disable, but I never use it anyway so it
doesn't hurt being turned off!

Preferably yes, and definitely if it has a packet writing component
(eg InCD or Direct CD) where the two drag and drop effects will get
hopelessly confused with each other. If you only use a mastering
program, and want to use the burning of an audio CD from a playlist in
Media player, there is a case for having the inbuilt burning on just
for that - but I would still only turn it on knowing I was about to
use that aspect

How do you turn off the built-in CD writing feature in XPPro?

Will that mess up Roxio ECDC6 that I have installed?

My Computer - right click on the drive, Properties and uncheck 'Enable
Recording' on the recording page.

This only affects the internal method - it will not affect the Roxio
programs. Indeed, installing them may well have turned it off
already.
