Hi Christy, I open the files on my CD's as if they were on a hard drive in Explorer= view I then select / highlight the unwanted data and click on Delete.

I have some files on a CD-RW. After I transfered them from the CD to my hard drive, I wanted to delete them off of the CD-RW. When I tried, it said I had no access, something about them being read only. I tried clicking on properties on= the file and took the check out of the read only but it still would not let me. Does anyone know how I might delete them? thanks, christy -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
