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.

    Right ON!!  This two-step process is ridiculous, Microsoft. If I ask to write files to a CD, it should just DO IT!  George has done your work for you, Microsoft, but why?  ... because you haven't checked with your users, that's why.  It's outrageous.

    Finally I was able to burn to disc by going up one level!  Thank you.  I have worked with windows since day one and today I have decided it really stinks. So no Windows 10 for me - I'm going to Mac.

    Could be my current mood - but indeed very, very disappointing to spend hours to figure it out how to burn a CD with my Dad's favorite music to play at his funeral in a few hours. Now also available in Windows10, so all previous feedback was useless as it was not even used to fix this frustrating "bug".

    And I can tell you that it works EXACTLY the same with 10! Why can't you burn the files from the page on which you see them???
