Thanks. Is Nero better than the Windows or MS Digital Image or Media Center
burners, which are on my pc? I noticed that Roxio provides the Windows
burner, but it does not act like it did when I had XP Home in my old
computer. It allowed me to finalize by simply checking one little box.

How do I get Nero?

I don't know how to do that in software other than Nero Burning ROM. In Nero
you get an option to finalize a disk if you add a small file to the CD and
check the finalize box.

The file can just be a txt file with nothing but a new line inside.

Thanks for your reply. Properties do not show 0 bytes free, which must
mean
it's not finalized. How do I finalize?

I am new to burning photos onto cds to share with others. I have XP MC,
but
did not use MC to burn the photos. I just sent them to my DVD/CD drive
and
they burned just fine. The photos are there because I checked the disks
after
burning. My question is, will the cds be readable, say for a slideshow,
on
other computers? In other words, are the cds finalized?


If you look at the CD with Windows Explorer, right click > Properties, It
should say 0 bytes free if the disk is finalized.

If you have burning software such as Nero, when you look at the disk
info,
it will tell you a read only disk if finalized.

Whether the disk is readable on another computer or stand alone players,
depends on the computer or player more that anything else.
