| directcd.exe is a part of Adaptec (now Roxio's) Easy CD/DVD Creator. This is packet writing software which allows the user to write and delete to CDs and DVDs as if they were a normal drive. This program is a non-essential system process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems. LaJmOn | |

| Uses more cpu than it should. Very non-essential, in fact, the whole concept of DirectCD has problems. Many people start using it, without realizing that it creates disks that are non-portable. A disk used on computer A is useless on computer B. Plus, the process is using quite a bit of cpu time just running in the background when it should be doing nothing. steve | |
