Windows 10: I thought I was writing files to a CD. But they're in a file...

I thought I was writing files to a CD. But they're in a file C:\users\myname\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\burn\burn. How do I actually write them to the CD?

Hi Hankriegler,

I would suggest you to follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows key + X.
  
• 
  Click file explorer from the list.
  
• 
  Select the CD/DVD drive and hit Enter.
  
• 
  Select the files you want to copy from the CD/DVD, then select the drive where you want to paste or save.
  

I hope the information is helpful.

Thank you.

 

CD-Rs won't open.

Hello,

• How old is the CDR exactly? When did you write it?
• Did you try it on a different system?

As the disc was written on a different OS platform as well as an older writing application, there is a possibility the CD might be obsolete or corrupted.
I suggest you to check the status of the issue on a different computer and see if the files appear. Further, try the below steps to check if the files are visible.

• Click search box, and then type cmd.
• Right-click cmd in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator.
• If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
• In front of the CD/DVD drive letter, type DIR and check if you’re able to find the files.
  

Hope it helps.

 

Gathering Names Of Multiple Files

Edit: Also, if your directory has spaces, you may have to put the directory in quotes, such as:
