Can you write something on how to save files to a CD in Windows 7?

 While we’ve covered this topic on several occasions, I found no fully illustrated step-by-step directions in our archives, and no instructions at all specifically for Windows 7. However, while the look may be slightly different, these directions will also apply, for the most part, to Vista and XP.

Insert the blank disc and AutoPlay should offer the option to Burn files to disc. If, for some reason, AutoPlay doesn’t appear, just click on the Start button and select Computer. This will reveal all the drives in the computer. In that case, you can skip the next couple steps and just start moving files to the disc.

In the Burn a Disc dialog box, you can add a name and determine how to copy the disc. Since my main purpose in burning discs is to save files permanently, I made the selection, With a CD/DVD player. Once these files have been carefully and permanently preserved, the disc containing them will likely be tossed onto a stack of about a hundred other unmarked discs, to be forever lost. There are people who claim that this is not an efficient filing system. I don’t pay any attention to those people.
