Thanks guys.
Neither Windows XP nor Dell seem to have built-in DVD burning utilities. I did a search of the help and all files for 'dvd' and didn't come up with anything. From the InformIT link:
onthedownlow, thanks for the link--I'll take a look (sadly Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are not applicable here--I'm just burning crappy DVD+Rs with old Outlook junk.

If your PC's DVD recorder is of recent vintage, it also can record to CD-R and CD-RW discs.
We'll discuss those discs first because Windows XP's built-in optical disc recording software cannot handle DVDs. Those of you with older versions of Windows might want to skip ahead to the next section, "Using Bundled Software to Burn a DVD, "because Windows Me, 2000, 98, and earlier do not have built-in CD-recording capability.
