Appearance of burned files

[liamrowan]

I burned several different types of files to a disc (photos/jpg and audio files). When I open up the newly burned disc in "My Computer," the files all have a blue arrow pointing down on them and the icon looks washed out, like a watermark. At the top of the dialog box are the words, "Files Ready to Be Written to Disc." I can't figure out why this is happening. I'd prefer them to appear as they do on my computer, with "normal" looking icons. I'm using Roxio 9.0 on Windows Vista. Ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

William

The heading Files Ready to Be Written to Disc indicates you have yet to burn them.

But these files as I have described them are being read from the CD. Therefore they have to have been burned to the disc or they wouldn't open, no?

You're not using Roxio to burn those, then. That is a message you get with the goofy 2-step process with the native Windows burning program.
