Well, I've tried opening file stream, using SHFileOperation(&Fo),
CopyFile(Ex) and MCI-calls. I get the Windows message that the files on the
CD-ROM unit are write protected and that I cant copy or write files to it.
Using manual file copying in Windows I have to use the guide Writing to CD.
I thought there should be an automatic way to do this. I want to use the CD
for backups. Can I somehow release the write lock from my app (I am using
XP)?
