Files Ready to Be Written to the Disc

[Lordbob75]

Great, done that. I had the file. And I just deleted

Thanks. Let's see if appears again.

Btw, the text inside the file:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21815

That definitely sounds like its a shell thing....

Indeed, that seems to be exactly the contents of the one on my system

 

[saulob]

Hmmm. Shell thing... that does what?

That's odd.

 

[Barman58]

From the look of the actual contents I would suggest a path to a customized folder icon for the CD Burning folder

That's odd.

The Windows Shell is a type of folder... Such as the Libraries and My Documents and such.

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21815

Provides the NAME for the Shell folder

ShellClass Icon provides the icon.

Since it is a shell folder, it will have these contents.

I don't have any blank or writable discs, so I cannot recreate the condition.

It seems to me that if you hide hidden/system files, the "problem" will go away.

Thanks for the clarification - I must need sleep

I've just been looking at this oddity ... if you look a bit closer, it's not a file at all, but seems to be a shortcut.

I imagine it's just some place-holder or something like that, and not actually burn't to the disc at all .. and if you hide system files as others have said you won't see it anyway.

Just a minor Win 7 glitch it seems!

Right idea, wrong conclusion.

It is sort of a short cut (we explained this in previous posts), but it is NOT a glitch.

NOT a glitch.

It is indeed supposed to be there, and if you select to NOT see hidden files and folders, then it wont be.

Hmm, this doesn't sound like the right conclusions to me. I've had this desktop.ini "Files ready to be written" problem since using Windows 7 as well. Yes, you can *hide* it by not allowing to show hidden files and folders, but I don't think that is the main issue. When I burn bootable .iso's, they will not boot UNLESS I remove the desktop.ini item from the "Files ready to be written" section in the DVD window. It seems to me that when I remove the desktop.ini file, the disc becomes active and seems to be doing something -- the only thing making sense to me is that it is finalizing the disc. This would mean the discs don't finalize properly, although I don't know if un-finalized discs are by default non-bootable. But I have had this issue numerous times -- when I create a bootable disc, and I don't remove the desktop.ini file, that disc will NOT boot. I really doubt that hiding files and folders is going to somehow finalize the disc and it would suddenly be bootable thereby. But I have not tried hiding files and folders and burning a bootable disc. If this would make the difference, then I still consider it to be a Windows 7 glitch.

I Know

You must click "Delete Temperary" in menu bar.
If Some folders in your disc are in the tab "Ready to be........."
Then it will delete to Recycle bin but the real file will back to the currently file.

I think it will be well done.

PS: I had the Dsektop.ini only when I use DROP and DRAG, so i use Copy and paste.
never have the problem since.

Thank you for what is probably the only useful post in such a long thread: it's amazing how people just assume you're dumb and give such pitiful non-answers when someone asks for a solution to a problem. I'll be trying the copy/paste method instead of SendTo/DragNDrop and see if it reappears...

Good to know you appreciate our efforts.

My attempt to provide useful information:

After scanning the start and end of this thread, I made myself a note.
When I saw what you said, I figured I'd share it. Got it all from you guys.


How to Delete, Files Ready to Be Written to the Disc:
(Specifically, the 'desktop.ini' file.)

The burning folder is: (Substitute <user name> below.)

C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\

(While 'Computer' is not displaying the 'desktop.ini' file,)
simply delete everything in the 'Burn' folder.
Re-open 'Computer', and voila! desktop.ini is gone! :O)

PS: I had the Desktop.ini only when I use DROP and DRAG, so I use Copy and Paste. Never have the problem since.


Hope my summary of the beginning and end, helps! :O)

Edit: I just noticed that ImgBurn, is leaving 'desktop.ini's, for me to delete. Yup. I just made a shortcut to the above mentioned 'Burn' folder. (Saves clicking.)
Also, of course, turning off 'show hidden files', under 'tools>folder options>view', would probably hide it. BUT, it could still be 'burned'. (However, ImgBurn defaults to NOT burning hidden files.) ... :O)
