How do I execute "Files Ready to Be Written to Disk"

Anonymous

I burn an audio CD with Nero Burning ROM; it completes and verifies successfully.  But it doesn't play. The listing of the disc's contents includes, "Files ready to be written."  This was an obvious step in xP, but in 8.1 it not only isn't obvious, the execution is nowhere that I've been able to find.  I've seen other forum answers but have been unable to find one that works.

Can someone (MS staff?) help?

Thanks

Bob,

Thank you for the response.

You could try deleting any temporary files that may be left over from CD and DVD burning. Navigate to the hidden folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Temporary Burn Folder and delete everything.

Now try to burn. Keep us posted.

    This doesn't work. I have been using Windows since it came out and the continued disregard for user experience, while sadly expected, continues to be a major disappointment. Why is the process for burning a CD or DVD a mystery? Where is the "Burn" icon to click? Why do I have to search hidden files to make this work? 

    All I want to do is share a large file with a friend. That's the experience you should care about NOT what's convenient for MSFT from a technical standpoint.

    It's under the Share Tab. I had to go to another place to find this out.
