DirectCD.exe
(Adaptec / Roxio)
This is the DirectCD software which enables you to drop files onto a CD-R directly from Explorer, without using any CD-Recording software. While a great and potentially very useful concept, the limitations of DirectCD CDs, and the many conflicts that we have seen DirectCD create, lead us to always recommend its removal.
Recommendation :
Unless you do make use of DirectCD, remove it via "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel. Otherwise right-click on it and temporarily disable it whenever you need to use other software that will want to write to your CD Writer.
