WORKAROUND

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system.

  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. In the left pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

  3. In the right pane, right-click CD Burning, and then click Modify.
  4. In the Value data box, type the new location that you want to use to burn CDs, and then click OK.

    Note Do not lock down the drive that you specify as the new location.
  5. Quit Registry Editor.
