My dual CD/DVD burner shows as a CD drive in Explorer also... and by default
the recording option is unchecked. When I want to use it to burn a disc in
Movie Maker, I have to check the option.

I right-click the drive in Explorer > Properties > Recording Tab > check
'Enable CD recording on this drive' > Ok > no need to reboot the computer or
restart MM2.
