Can you explain a bit better?  Where are the files located?  IE : c:\windows\media player\temp? Have you just tried to delete them? 

Thanks

I think a program called CCleaner will get rid of your temp files.  It's free

sure, when I have an mp3 file or file folder for example, stored in a folder for music, and I want to burn it to disc, there are several ways to do so, all of which involve a copy of the file being sent to the cd drive via Windows Media Player; when the file has been sent there, a bubble will pop up advising me that I have files ready to be burned to disc; when I click that bubble, the Windows Media Player window pops up, and shows the files ready to be transferred to disc, and I am prompted to choose the ones I want; the problem is that the temporary music files sent there remain in the cue until they are actually burned to disc, and until then there is no way I know of to delete them, so they keep stacking up, the list is now something like 300 temporary files waiting to be burned to disc each time I want to burn a single file, they are all automatically chosen to be burned each time, so in order to burn just a single file I have to unclick 299 temporary files just to choose the remaining file I actually want to burn
