CD Burner

XP Media Center, Version 2002, Service Pack 2
Dell Dimension E520

When I first got my machine, if I stuck a blank CD in the drive, it
would give me a bunch of options, one of which was basically "burn a
new CD". It doesn't do that anymore. When I stick in a written CD,
it still asks whether I want to open an explorer window, look at the
pictures, etc. But the "burn" option with a blank CD doesn't show up
anymore.

I'm doing my burning with Roxio, and that works fine for my purposes.
But why doesn't this Windows functionality work anymore?

Thanks.

It is because Roxio has become your default program for burning.

See the third post:

"Go to the Control Panel and click on Default Programs. Find where you
can change the options for inserting a blank CD and select it to how you
prefer it."
