Add "Copy CD" function
No way to copy a CD within Windows Explorer, without relying on Third Party CD Software.
Add this ability. I see that we can now create a CD from and ISO, which is a step closer. It would be nice to be able to put a CD in the drive, Right click on the CD drive, select Copy,and have it do it's thing.

I just tried to copy a CD-R in Win 7 and it failed.
I have two pcs both with win 7. I first created a CD_R with about 534 MB of images (data) (out of 700 MB capacity) on my digital imaging pc with one DVD bay. I then took the CD-R to my second pc with two DVD bays. I used the Send To feature in Windows Explorer to copy all if the images from the first CD-R to the second CD_R. I got a message stating that there was not enough room on the second CD_R for all of the images. That surprised me. I then looked at the incomplete CD-R. According to Properties it was fill. However it was short about 100 images from the master CD-R. I agree that there ought to be a Dick Copy function in Windows 7 or a Copy DVD or CD function.
I then went to my wife's pc with XP Pro on it. She has Roxio on her pc. I tried to use the Disk Copy function within Roxio using as my master CD_R the one I created on my win 7 pc. Guess what? That did not work either, However, on her pc, windows explorer was able to read all of the files on the master CD_R.
Something needs to be fixed.

I am attempting to copy a data cd that I created on my other computer. In the past I could tell it to copy and it would move a copy to memory to wait until the existing disk ejects and a new blank disk is inserted. That does not seem to work here. I also added a second CD/DVD drive and tried to copy from it to the cDRW drive but that fails also. Says joliet names to long and it compresses the names which leaves the program contained unusable.
