Yes, that is still my strong preference.

Thanks for your response. But I don't think I explained very well. What I need is a "command line way" to cause the CDBurnerXP to load and refresh the specified DXP. The user won't necessarily know to go to the top menu and select Edit >> Update Compilation. Plus, they see "missing file" messages, which doesn't instill confidence. The point is, I'm trying to automate as much as possible from a calling script. If there was a programmatic way to Add Folder, I could do it that way ... but, alas, that only puts up a selection dialog, without a provision to type in a file. At this point, I can't see a viable way. I'm not wild about going to one of the command-line-only softwares, but automating is becoming more important than features. I was just hoping CDBurnerXP would save the day.

I've used CDBurnerXP for some time and am a big fan of its no-nonsense approach. But I'm trying to automate some of my uses and have run into a problem. I save my definition files (dxp files) for my main disk areas that I want to archive to CD. I then try to initialize CDBurnerXP by appending the dxp filename to the run string per the documentation: This works to bring up CDBurnerXP, but whenever files have moved out of a directory, I get missing file notifications. For example, when I want the entire contents of C:\Photos written to a DVD, I might have deleted a photo here or there. So, my question is: Can there be a designation like C:\Photos\* in the dxp file? I realize I can use the command line version and force an update. But what I really need is to bring up the CDBurnerXP interface so I can make any other adjustments and maybe add other content. Thanks in advance for any help.
