I remember a wizard popping up when it was ready to burn the files, but i don't remember if it asked to be left open or closed...

I would suspect (as I haven't had a chance to use XP yet) that it uses packet writing rather than the method used when Nero (or whatever) burns a CD.
With packet writing you can treat the CD-R like a floppy drive just adding and deleting files at will.

yeah it would be nice to know if the CDs burned using internal CD burning are only readable in whistler or any OS
ok, i'm gonna burn a cd in 2446 and see if it leaves it open and if its readable by other os's as well.
Bursar,I don't think you can delete files from a simple CD-R, but only CD-RWs.

Yeah, sorry. Slip of the fingers, but was probably worth you pointing out.
Well OK you can't physically delete from a CDR, but you can hide files so they don't appear.
Load up EasyCD 4 and 'Import Session'.
Now delete something from the CD layout and burn the CD.
When you browse that CD the file will no longer be visable, unless you use the 'Session Select' application.
