Windows Xp, automate the cd writing procedure?

    hi all,

    just a thought I had and was wondering if anyone here would know how to go about it.

    When you mark files to be written to CD in XP it creates a temporary storage folder (so that if you reboot the files selected to be written to CD are still there) this also works for when you pop a blank cd into the drive and the list of tasks come up.

    Now, what I was wondering was, is there any way to automate the process so that
    1. user puts in CD
    2. option list comes up
    3. the option to burn files pending to CD is there. User clicks

    the files burnt are the files essential for backup on that system (an accounts program in this case).

    One way I was thinking of was to create a scheduled task that moved the accounts folder to the CD drive. However, how do I get around the need to constantly reply "yes I am sure" to the annoying messages that pop up?
    then, the next time the user puts in a blank CD the backup can run.

    obviously I would need the job to overwrite the originally pending files.

    clear as mud?
