Michael, I read your instructions on how to erase files from a CD. However,
when I open My Computer and double-click on the CD drive, I don't see "CD
Writing Tasks" anywhere! Along the left side of the window: Picture Tasks,
File and Folder Tasks, Other Places and Details. I'm stuck...can you help?

Thank you!

You need a CD-R/W disk in the drive.
Right click the CD Writer icon and select Erase.

Brenda when you click on My Computer it should open an explorer window.
Right click on your CD-R/W drive.
