When I originally used the CD Creator program, I was using Windows 98 second
edition and the program allowed for burning to the CD and leaving it "open"
which would allow a person to go back and add to it. As Judith stated, when
it is full, that is that...can't change anything placed on the CD and can't
delete any of it either. the process she describes does sound as if it
would work, but clearly it is not working for Judith, so I am at a bit of a
loss.
