Roxio supplied the equivalent of DirectCD for Windows XP. DirectCD is a simple utility for writing to CDROMs and CDRWs. Roxio's Windows XP utility has some interesting features: 1) it writes to my CDRW slightly faster than an XP does to a floppy disc and 2) control C does not work for copying a file, 3) if does not generate appropriate exceptions if your CDRW BIOS is not functioning correctly. An Ada program to manage writing to CDs should have the distinct commercial advantage of working. -----Original Message----- From: comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org [mailto:comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org] On Behalf Of Pascal Obry Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 12:18 AM To: comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org Subject: Re: A standard package for config files is needed Hyman Rosen writes: > The registry API calls for setting and getting your own > parameters are perfectly safe, and only affect designated > items.

When installed on XP it has corrupted the Explorer icons. I had to tweak the registry to get back icons for my removable drives... FUD certainly not, but for sure it is quite rare.
