Windows XP's inbuilt CD-burning software allows you to select files and
apparently write them to the disk immediately, by dragging and dropping them to
the CD drive's icon, or by right-clicking them, taking Send To, and selecting CD
Drive x: as the destination. This gives the impression that the files are being
written to the disk right then, as in a UDF system. But this is not the case.
Doing this simply stashes up copies of these files on the hard disk, in a
"staging area" (which, by default, is in your Documents and Settings folder).

Maybe your images are still in the temporary queue.
