Nero will be fine.
The files for Windows built-in CD writing live in this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\"your user"\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning.
When you right-click and "send to Drive D", all Windows does is copy the files here and whatever's in that location gest burnt to disk when you tell it to.

Thanks for giving the location, We can't burn or delete this file. It acts like it is not even there like a ghost file. It seems to have lost a link and I can't delete it.

try this...
Click Start...Run...and type Net Stop Spooler... Then press Enter.... Shutdown the computer and restart. The print jobs should be removed.... If they are not, shut down and reboot the computer again...

That would work fine if we were printing, but this in in regard to a file hung up in the Microsoft cd burn temp file that can't be deleted. Thanks Anyway

No I haven't tried what you have asked, I'm not at that computer. Explin what stopping the spool would help with a file in the CD burning area?

I tried ' NET STOP SPOOLER " and that didn't solve the problem. I tried deleting the file again and I get his error message " Cannot delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk" . I also tried removing the cd burner from device manager and rebooting. That lasted message free for on boot. The very next boot the write file to cd message was back. I finally turned off the windows cd writing service for now an we are using Nero. I went to the temp file and could not delete it there either. Any more suggestion would be nice. Thanks for your help. Picky

go here and get WhoLockMe...
The program has a handy Explorer extension, which shows which Windows process is locking the file. One click kills the process...it doesn't matter if its a virus, Trojan, spyware, or a dialog box enhancer, after which you can delete the tenacious hanger-on.
