Override 670MB size limit on Finder-burned CDs
Authored by: leebennett on Sep 24, '04 06:45:39PM

Gah. This is why I've always used Toast instead of the Finder. Besides, doesn't the Finder still burn a duplicate of the computer's desktop database file to discs, potentially revealing sensitive information about the contents of your computer to someone who gets the CD and knows what they're doing? Toast has an option to burn an empty desktop database file.

Override 670MB size limit on Finder-burned CDs

We switched from using Toast (and Dragon Burn) to using Finder precisely because of the problem of desktop files.

We burn CDs to upload files to our Windows web server. Only Finder gives us 'clean' CDs with no Mac specific files like ._DStore.

Why do we upload via CD? Ask our IT dept!
