Question about 'How do I use the built-in CD burning in Windows XP?'

I have a question about How do I use the built-in CD burning in Windows XP?:

Would picture burning be data burning? When I try to burn a pic from the internet, I right click on the picture, choose save as, save it in my cd drive and it shows up in the "files to be copied" folder. After I burn the picture, it won't show up. It just says, "Preview not available." Am I doing something wrong?

A picture (image) file is nothing but data. Have you tried saving it to your hard drive, and then tried to write it to a CD?

Wouldn't have thought poster would need to include that interim step.  The message 
poster gets is the same message Win Picture & Fax Viewer gives when try to open an 
unsupported file-type, e.g. an .ico file.  Once poster has copied an image to a CD, 
wonder what the indicated file-type on the CD is.

It's best used by disabling it and forgetting it exists.

I've done that. The only way I can get it to work is if I save it as a bmp. But then, I have to add .bmp to every picture. Can I add .bmp to the drop down box in the d drive?
