Burn folders and files directly from Windows Explorer

If you only burn a CD from time to time, there's no need to install a mammoth recording suite; Explore&Burn may be more than enough.

Explore&Burn is not a standalone burning app, but rather an add-on that's seamlessly integrated into Windows Explorer and lets you burn folders and files to CD or DVD directly from their context menu.

Simply right click on any item you want to record to CD and select "Burn to disc…". You'll be presented with a step-by-step wizard that will guide you through the recording process.

Being a simple burning add-on, Explore&Burn doesn't have any special options, except for a few features such as support for finalizing sessions and the ability to burn double-layered DVDs and also ISO files. Bear in mind that if you're using Windows XP, you'll need to install the IMAPI hotfix from Microsoft.

Explore&Burn is a simple add-on that lets you record CD and DVD from Windows Explorer context menu.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
