Burn CD with VBA

Is there a way to automatize "CD BURNING WIZARD"?

I need to know how to burn cd using VBA
WITHOUT Nero, roxio, etc, only with Windows

This will add the files of a certain directory to the wait-list of files to be burned.
[VBA]Sub burn_a_cd()
'Provide the drive letter of your CD burner
strDriveLetter = Application.InputBox("Driveletter : ", "Driveletter", "D", Type:=2) & ":\"
'Provide the source directory. We made one on the c drive
'and everything we put in this directory will be put on a cd
strSourceDirectory = "C:\TOBURN"
'Provide a volume name for your CD (16 characters max)
strCDName = Date
Const MY_COMPUTER = &H11
Set WShshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
strBurnDirectory = WShshell.RegRead( _
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\" _
& "Explorer\Shell Folders\CD Burning")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(strSourceDirectory)
objShell.Namespace(strBurnDirectory).CopyHere objFolder.Items
objShell.Namespace(&H11&).ParseName(strDriveLetter).InvokeVerbEx ( _
"Write &these files to CD")
End Sub[/VBA]Charlize

Thank you, Charlize

Is it advisable to automate them?

Again, Thank You

You can give any name you want. As long as it's shorter then 17 characters (ie. 16 maximum). I'll probably used it for some kind of back-up routine.
