Burn a CD on Windows XP Without Using Software

It's been a very long time since I wrote any posts about computer program or some of its tricks. Today I got this topic where I found it online, I sure find it handy sometimes and you can use it too, even if it's only to increase your computer knowledge.

Tips and Tricks

Windows XP comes with a builtin CD-copy feature that not many people are aware of. Although almost everyone has his/her favorite CD-copy software to stick with, it is still good to know about this CDR feature from Windows XP. You will find it very useful when you come to another PC that doesn't have a CD-copy software, and you can't just install your favorite software to it. With this feature, you can write some data or MP3 files to a CD/DVD, or erase a re-writable CD/DVD. 

If you're using a Re-Writable CD (CD-RW), make sure the disc is blank. 

You might need to erase (or "format") it before use.

Requirements: You need to enable the CD-R feature on Windows XP.

Pictures Privacy

I mentioned before in one of my earliest post about privacy in the interest. That doesn't limit just there. Privacy is also applied else where like your personal stuff in cells phones, memories, iPhones or any other storage drives.

As you already know, pictures are one of those stuff that people give special privacy to. You don't usually put out all of your photos online or upload them all to facebook! Some are private and only can be seen by friends and family. Maybe just for yourself!

At times when you need to do a little format to your PC or take it to the store to fix it, you surly delete your photos after saving them elsewhere. However, we know that there are programs that allow you to recover files even when they are deleted. Like using iCare Recovery.
