Hello everyone, I have the following problem after burning a large CD. After burning a CD of 400Mb, the space of drive C has reduced 200Mb. Is there any temporary data stored in C and does not delete after the burning procedure?
Can anyone help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance!

i think you are talking about system restore feature. Press on My computer with the right mouse button and then go to Properties. Press on System Restore tab and turn it off.

So he burns a CD and now he should turn off System Restore? How do you figure that one. What happens if he has a problem? How does he restore his system.
Henry,
Look in your temp folder here: C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Temp
Reboot and then delete anything in that folder.

Start to burn another 1 and when it asks where you want to save the temp file or image or what ever else your cd burning software may call it take note where that is located,then shut down the program and go to the place where your cd burning software saved the file then delete it.
