1> Press on the Start Button at the bottom left of your Desktop !

2> Goto Run and when it opens copy and paste or just type in

" %SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc /s "

Without the speech marks . Then press OK.

3> Scroll down to "IMAPI CD-Burning Com Service" and double click on it.

4> When it opens Select Disabled then select OK and close the Service Window and then reboot your Computer and Hey Presto it is Gone !!!

5> But if at any time you want to enable it (Which I would never Do) all you need to do is reverse the procedure and select Manual or Auto.
