re: "ERASE THIS CD-RW" context menu item missing Monday, November 9, 2009 at 5:27 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kevinh (634 messages posted) The file protection has nothing to do with the ability to erase a CD-RW, the only thing you need is decent 3rd party burning software that has the erase function, the native XP windows burning software is very limited if not poor.
